Sharman and Seedorf, 2025

This study explored whether people tend to form friendships with others who have similar brain types. It found that neurodivergent (ND) individuals mostly have ND friends, while neurotypical (NT) individuals tend to have NT friends, suggesting people often connect more easily with others who share their communication style. The research also highlighted both the challenges and deep sense of connection in ND friendships, supporting the idea that ND people may share a unique social culture.
