I think this depends, for me at least. I've had jobs where my coworkers and I aren't that close at all even working together in an office setting. We had little attachment to each other during and after the shared job experience was over.

Then, I have had jobs where we worked in office and for extended periods remote and I feel closer and actually have more of a relationship with them, sometimes for many years down the road when we don't even live near each other anymore. I still see them when I visit town and we talk on the phone.

I work remote with some folks in another project and I honestly feel closer to some of them than some on-site groups I have worked with. I guess everyone is a little different in this.

I have some non-work relationships that operate more like you describe and also ones that don't.

It is a little offensive to hear assignment of people who don't operate the same way as described as being far on the autism spectrum.
