Is it difficult to be an autistic musician?

I know this is kind of an obscure question, but I have wanted to be a musician for a long time. Performing especially appeals to me. However, I worry that being autistic may get in the way of this. I mean, just regular social interactions are exhausting - I worry that performing live and having to keep up a stage persona for an extended period of time might be too much for me. On the other hand, I did greatly enjoy performing when I was young (I did theater). Sensory issues probably wouldn’t be an issue, I don’t generally mind loud noises. Is anyone on this sub autistic, and if so, what is your experience like being a musician?
