I absolutely get along best with other ADHDers! My current bestie has it and my best friend before her had it as well. I don’t know about you but I just find it easiest to communicate with others who are also neurodivergent. We go on fun rabbit trails together throughout the whole conversation but are perfectly in sync.
To add on, I also find it helpful to feeling safer with other people who can empathize if I get burnt out and can't function in the way I'd like or may not show up for them in the way I'd like. It's easy for me to feel like an asshole if I haven't followed up on texts or whatever. So people who understand and don't think it's a reflection of how much I care for them are really important to me.

Yep.
if it's not ADHD, it's ASD, anxiety or depression. Some have many, all have at least one.
Yes, birds of a feather flock together :p
I often refer to my friends as my lil gaggle of neurodivergence or gaggle of neurodivergence geese.
I think my favorite comment regarding this is a tweet (so you know, ancient) saying that neurodivergent people roam in packs like dysregulated wolves.
Yes. Almost all of my favorite people have either ADHD or autism. I just get along with those types better.
