Autistic men - do you also have no interest in sports

I really never had any interest in sports except for running in high school. I was actually good, I was the best runner on my team. It felt good having some type of athletic achievement.

But I don’t like more competitive sports like football, soccer (football,) basketball, hockey and volleyball. And golf, so boring, so dreadfully boring to me.

I hate that sports don’t excite me. Im scrawny (I guess it common for autistic men to be thin and lack muscle) outside of running I’m not good at any sport, and it makes it hard to connect to other guys. Male friendships are almost formed by similar interest and I don’t have any.
