Neurotypicals, what do autistic people look like to you?

Trying to get an idea of how NTs see us. I know that when I see autistic people, I see someone that’s like me. Obviously, that’s not how NTs perceive us, so what do we look like to yall??

    Someone who is serious most of the time and doesn’t laugh at jokes, since ordinary jokes are not funny to them.

    A bit nerdy, intelligent, missing some social clues for how to act, and sometimes creates weird social situations without understanding why it’s weird.

    Good hearted and more innocent then typical people. I can’t imagine them hurting a fly or any animal.

    I realize I replied how they act, not how they look, since they look the same mostly, except maybe more unique dress styles.
