Going into social situations can be very difficult when you are autistic. I have many tools in my toolbox that have helped me in some of the most difficult social situations. Staying home was not an option a lot of the times. I figured out what helped me go into the room where PEOPLE were. I figured out if I took what I call, an external brain, social situations were easier. I created scripts like Sheldon on the Big Bang theory and came up with other creative ways to help me get through some of the scariest situations. I was told I would not graduate high school and I got a masters degree. I have spoken at many events. Fear was not an option. I worked through it and won. I talk about many different scenarios and what worked for me. There is always a way. Know yourself and know what works for you.
