My therapist asked me whether I know any other autistic people today and I realised that I don't. Admittedly I've been somewhat isolated due to my mental health, but, I'm working on that and I'm working on getting back out there.
My fear is that I'm too autistic for neurotypical people yet too normal for autistic people due to my high masking skills.
Are there any pros to trying to socialise and get to know more autistic people? Any cons?
None. Funny, I'm very late diagnosed. But so many of my friends from my youth also are now self identified or diagnosed.
I think we have a knack of finding eachother
That happened with my fiance and I. We both thought we were neurotypical when we first met and now we have discovered that I'm autistic and he has ADHD.
