Helloo, PK! It's wonderful you're branching out, and if it helps at all, I'm in a similar (but not the same) situation at the moment.
This isn't really the advice but it's something. I'm taking the "out of sight, out of mind" approach -- at least for short bursts -- People don't need to exist in my world because I don't let them in intentionally. So in those bursts I don't let them in, I work on myself -- and this is a time for healing and reflectivity. Kind of like in a game, "What can I do to improve my next situation?" and the clearer your mind, the easier it is to grasp what it is you want to see.
It might sound weird, but I'll say it anyway: Your post helped me respond to some utterances in I've been having about social contact. So, thanks.
(Also, I do want to call out that you can't be "a bit autistic", you are or you aren't.)
