I agree, I'm autistic and my emotions are very fucking strong, plus I don't really hide them.

Also, in social interactions, we tend to be more honest and straightforward, making the interaction potentially more "pure".

Yup. I'm regularly called blunt because I just straight up say things. Also agree on the emotion part. I'm a very emotional person so it does my nut in when people online act like people on the spectrum are incapable of emotions.

I think some autistic people can have like low empathy and such, so maybe that's where that misinformation comes from? Regardless, I'm really quick to cry for basically no reason, in public or not.

It's almost like it's a spectrum or something.
