New member - Autistic mum feeling very isolated

Hello, I've never been on this forum before but I just wanted to reach out and make sure I'm not the only person like me in the world, it can feel that way sometimes.

I am 27, happily married to my Autistic husband and a stay-at-home mum to my perfect 1 year old son. Plus I'm an open book, love deep discussions and am probably way too intense for most people. I want desperately to make friends with other mums so my boy can have lots of interaction with other children, but I'm struggling... 

My husband has to work way too much and my mum will be moving further away in just a few weeks. To my knowledge I have never met another diagnosed Autistic female in person before.

Can anyone relate? Sorry I am super depressing, not even sure if I'm typing this in the right place and worried that I'll press Post, then have that panic of knowing I look like a fool. Thank you.
