I wouldn't be afraid of meeting other autistics, I want to, I have this notion that they are so much easier to get along with because I don't have to work so hard to hide my aspie-ness around them the way I do with NTs. I would love to just be seen as me, rather than as me with all the oddities, the way NTs think of me. I'm going to a group on my school campus in two weeks that's for disabled people of all types, and I'm hoping to make some new friends there; as I've gotten farther and farther into college, I've found NTs to be harder and harder to get along with and understand. In high school it was no problem because they were all in their clicks and left me to hang out with the teachers, but I can't do that with lecture hall professors who nine times out of ten don't remember your name by the end of the semester.
