Do you think someone can have a lot of friends on Facebook and still be on the Autism Spectrum?

I only add real friends. The list is called "friends" and not "random acquaintances" for a reason.

The Facebook definition of "friend" is rather broad.

Yes, definitely.
Clicking "add to friends" doesn't require a lot of social skills.
I have a ton of "friends" on Myspace. |

"Genuine" friends?
It's unlikely.
But then, I don't see many "NTs" with "genuine" friends either. |

Dunno about facebook (I'm not a member), but on myspace I had over 200 "friends"... and never talked to any of them.

I have 4 friends. I use it very rarely and I have met every one of them and consider them true friends.
I recently created a myspace page just so I could contact a band, don't want friends there.
I create very private/nondescript profiles usually.
I find social networking really complicated. It is one of the more advanced social 'skills'. I got friends from one on one interactions. It is better if they don’t know each other initially. |

I do and I keep in touch with many of them a lot (not all but unless they really do something bad, I have no reason to delete them)

Rejecting friend requests from people one barely know doesn't require social skills either.
