Hi and welcome 
I understand what you mean about the group setting being mixed support needs. The group I attend is like this but I’m just glad there is a group I am able to join in my area.
I must admit I did have reservations when I first joined I did think I didn’t belong there but as I have got to know people more it’s the most relaxed I’ve ever been in a social setting. Everyone is different but underneath all the differences there seems to be a feeling of authenticity and shared understanding, which I haven’t found anywhere else.
I realised a few days ago that I’ve never had a friend, I think this may be quite common amongst people with autism but it doesn’t mean we don’t want connection and given time I think it could be easier to maintain a friendship with someone who gets it.
Wishing you well
Yeah that sounds familiar, it’s sad but it’s never too late.
I feel like I’m partially responsible because I didn’t feel safe enough to ever be myself with anyone either.
Hopefully things can change for both of us
