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?

Judge Dredd said:They are some of the most awful people you would ever meet. No concept of personal space or personal hygiene, lots of odious habits, lots of comorbidities and social issues.
Personally I'd rather smell than be an obnoxious pr*ck but that's just me.
I love this response Debbie and totally agree.
I personally am disgusted by the comments that are made continuously by this person and I do not understand how it is allowed. This is a community where people are trying to support each other, often people who are really struggling and he continually gets away with spreading hatred about ASD and generalising things in the most awful way, never with any information to back anything up. Dredd is a good name as I dread seeing the name coming up on any post as I know it will be just a spew of horrible insults.
Like others have said it puts me off coming on here.
That proves my point. I just cannot understand why so many ASD sufferers are unable to practice simple personal hygiene. I had to leave Warhammer tournaments because the place smelled like an abattoir. Too bad, because I used to really like wargaming
