My childhood best friend is ADHD, all but 1 of my other childhood friends is ADHD and about half of my current friends that I hang out with are either ADHD, on the autism spectrum or likely to be but as yet undiagnosed.

I frequently share the show Love on a Spectrum to others. They get surprised by some folks on the show who have similar behaviors like their friends/coworkers. And I have to go, "Yep!"

I wonder if that's due to like people grouping together, or people taking on personality traits of those they spend time with.

I know I've picked up a few things that my wife does, like wiping my fingers every time I touch food to eat it.
