I want to get more involved with organising, but fear that due to my autism I will just be a burden. I’m bad in social interactions and get overstimulated quickly.

It’s also hard to make connections as well as an autistic person and when I go to socialist meetings I always gravitate towards the people I already know and when they aren’t there I feel somewhat left out.

It is incredibly tiresome, but very much worth it. I’ve already warned people I’ll have to completely vanish for a week or two once in a couple months because I can’t deal with this much interaction.

It does help that I basically never mask irl, so it’s less stressful and people aren’t surprised by my oddities. It’s hard talking to other people I don’t have familiarity with too, but I convince myself to do it anyways because my comfort comes second to doing good work. Good luck!
