I stumbled into it by accident. A game I played was running a Twitch promotion so I started watching this random furry vtuber; she was hilarious so I ended up coming back for more streams and eventually joined her Discord server. Now it’s 4 years later and I have a ton of autistic gay animal friends (several irl), a much healthier outlook on life, and a prescription for estradiol. It’s great.

If you want more general advice, I suggest figuring out what flavor of autism you have and then looking for ways to interact with people who share that interest. It seems you don’t have the gaming autism but maybe there’s a way to connect with people who like the things that you are into.

You lick all of them. The ones that taste fantastic are yours. In all seriousness you can probs google that and find many different answers. From what I experienced:

It can be really any topic that comes easy to you. Where you can talk lots about to other people you like (infodumping)

The weirdest one I personally encountered was pleistocene autism. They knew everything there is to know about that era. Here are a few others, maybe You find yourself in them. Infrastructure Autism (Ships, Trains, Planes, Cars). Math Autism. Google Paul Erdos for example. Music Autism (commonly Loud, overwhelming (Metal) or very quiet asmr type music (Billie Eilish) ). People autism (how and why they act the way they do). Just Vibing in the Countryside Autism. Gardening Autism. Pet collecting autism (not adviseable, seek help) Maybe you can see a pattern.
