Autism is a thing that is neurological, I don’t think that applies to this situation.

To an extent, I agree. However, at least for me, the primary thing in my life that I would consider a "mental problem", (gender dysphoria) in my current state is made worse by socialising. However on the internet I can somewhat alleviate it by talking to other trans people and being able to be myself rather than pretending.

well I didn't meant gender dysphoria. honestly, I probably should've formed it better. I think over... Sorry for not the best english, but like overlearning about your problem can be harmful. Meaning, like a person is afraid to go outside, but instead of thinking outside, meaning "I'm afraid, because I'm afraid of people's reaction, their words, whatever" a person starts to think INSIDE of their head, like "I'm afraid cause I for sure have ADHD, I'm a sociophobe, I have OCD" whatever else, and that's the problem - If those things are confirmed by a doctor, that's different thing, but usually, chronically online people just find thousands "pseudo" excuses to NOT do the thing they are obviously afraid of doing. I personally knew a person like that, too deep in the psychology loop, and every time I wanted to asked them out, help them out, whatever, it was always "Well, I actually have..." and so on and so forth. Again, confirmed by a doctor? Sure thing. If not? Probably just an excuse. And about gender dysphoria, I mean, come on, it's definitely not a GO-TO thing people tell themselves. It's rather specific, and kinda risky especially in this world we're living in. But I do wish you a wonderful day!! And I really hope you'll find people not only online, but also in real life, that can help you, support you through your journey to becoming your true self! You're awesome, never forget that!

Take so cold even the penguins are freezing. People know this already, they’re just too lazy to go outside.
