Socialising with other autistic adults

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?
