My advice would be when it comes to any social gathering to just be yourself, be polite, and be friendly. Don't push yourself to hard, but still give yourself a nudge. And remember, if people are unkind, that is their problem if you were not mean to them. Sometimes too, people just might not understand something right away about your behavior or talking because that is not what they would do as a neurotypical person.
