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.
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
