If I was low-functioning would I not care about loneliness?

I don't have a caregiver but I have therapists telling me I should seriously consider it:

Right now I am exhausted from years - two decades, really - of trying to work. It always fails, and I always end up in worse shape as a result. So, yeah, I am glad to not have a traditional job. I do, however, have other plans that will hopefully work out so I don't have to be dependent on SSI's mandatory poverty-level payments.

I have the skills, but they were acquired, not innate. It wasn't easy, and it didn't happen overnight, and along the way, I had to accept comments about some of my oddities from bosses and colleagues. It's like any other acquired skill. The more you do it, the better you become at it. Which I understand is easier said than done. I developed a very thick skin as a result. What helped me more than anything was learning that I am the way I am, and that most of the people I came into contact with me began to accept my AS traits, after deciding that I was a good person at heart and that I had value as a colleague.. It also helped that I have a balance of both AS and NT traits. Hypersensitivity to criticism, both real and imagined, is an issue for many of us.

I think that sometimes too. It's so hard being on that edge between comfortable being by myself and wanting to be with other people. It's always the one thing I miss when I go on an adventure is someone to share it with. But maybe then it's not about low or high functioning, rather about how comfortable any of us are with ourselves. Low-functioning autistic people get lonely, and there are neuro-typical people who relish being alone. I tend toward the latter, but I still feel left out.
