The internet's the same as any other avenue of life: don't do anything too stupid, and you'll probably be OK. Now, admittedly, the golden rule of internet meetings is harder for those with AS to conform to: meet in a crowded place. But you could probably still find a coffee shop or something that was relatively quiet (and, of course, always have a fixed time to get back home, let someone know when you're intending to be back... but this stuff is good even if you're an NT and you met someone in a bar, you never really know who anyone is for a while, you have to take precautions).
IMO, people are far too paranoid about the internet. Most people online, like most people in real life, are not axe-murderers or rapists. Keep a hold of your credit cards, don't give out your address, be careful in any real-world meetings. And then stop worrying about it.
I agree with this man whole heartedly.
