Hints to fit with neutotypicals? (lemmy.world)

So, I've been a weirdo for, like, almost all schools I've been on, and I wanna try to fit with my new class this year. Anyone's got hints on how to fit with Neurotypicals and how to avoid being seen as the "autistic weirdo"?

My problem was (and is) communication.
I got a job in IT helpdesk and got much better at communicating (for example, I don't have any (social) anxiety calling up a company).
But it took me quite some pain and time to get it going.
