You have made that first step and it is the most important one.
It helps to try to find the positives in the whole situation and keep the focus on these and treat the negatives like a big fly buzzing around the room - a nuisance that you just need to learn to live with.
There should be some sort of freshers fair with the social clubs trying to get you to join - I would recommend trying to find some that appeal to you and give them a try as these can be a great way to find people with similar interests - often other neurodivergents.
If you can keep that mindset then it makes the education system so much more tolerable.

There’s a club for disabled and neurodivergent students that I’m signed up for but I’m not sure when the first meeting will be. And a support group for autists, teaches social skills too, but unfortunately it’s the same time as one of my classes… I want to plan next semesters scheduale around it so I can go but I reckon they’ll all have made friends with each other by then
TL;DR: There's a fine line between learning social skills for your benefit and learning non-autistic social skills that help you to mask around NTs for their benefit. A good teacher will be aware of that distinction.
