Generally we don't cope very well with this.
It is something that we can cope with, generally speaking we are used to losing friends or being alone and are less dependent on social interaction than neurotypical people, but obviously it still hurt to have someone break a friendship. Autistic people tend to be loyal to their friends and may not pick up on clues that the friendship isn't working so it can be quite a blow, it's also far from great if we struggle to make friends as losing just one friend can be a big deal.
