Feeling Alone in My Autism

Do you ever feel really alone in your autism? I have so many autistic friends online, but I only know two in-person, and one of them is sort of like trumed but with autism. The other one was a co-worker who recently left here. Most of us here are some type of ND (I think there’s only who isn’t, and they’re a recent hire whom I… struggle to be around much), but I’m the only autistic one now, and I never get to have in-person conversations with people about it. Which is fine—usually. But sometimes it’s very lonely. 😔

All the time. I’m the only person at my job with Autism and I feel like it isolates me from my coworkers :/
