@ChrisMusic turn up any time. It's about getting up and playing rather than being the next guitar god....
I'll say I've felt very under-gunned when playing with the likes of @viz and @bigjon but still did it. Even if you just play rhythm guitar and don't worry about playing any leads..

Effective practice = have a plan.. and an achieveable, yet challenging one
if you have an hour for practice I'd be inclined to split it into 3 parts
10 mins: technical warm up with scales, alternate picking
40 mins: work on your current 'mission'
this could be:
- learning a riff, solo, song, set piece etc
- experimentation with new musical ideas, fx / tones, writing a song / riff / solo
- learning some new theory and experimenting with it to understand it's applications
- learning / exploring a specific technique [tapping / sweeping / legato / bending / whammie tricks etc]
- exploring different creative / note selection related ideas [using modes / medolic substitution / parallel modutation etc]
10 mins: fun time: put an old favourite on [CD / iTunes etc], get the volume up, rock out and have a ball
you must end on a high..
never lose sight of the fact that music, exploring it, creating it, taking part in it has to be fun..
I think the worse thing is imposing a practice reigime on yourself that is so intense, or such a mountain to climb
that you fall out of love with playing
you must avoid that..
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
in all seriousness.. it's not unusual to find that high ability muso's have some form of autism.. it has a lot to do with the 'lock-in' you need to be able to apply that much focus on something [which in real-rife terms] is essentially meaningless / unimportant..
I'm actually an Aspergers kid.. just like my dad and my oldest..
music just happens to be one of it's better side-effects.. it gives us a positive 'thing' in which to channel ourselves..
and music [for us] in addition to being a passion is also a bit of a safe harbour [somewhere to hide when our lil' worlds start going a bit wrong]

"To this day I have no idea of what condition my condition is in, or even really what it is.
I do know that I hyper focus really well and I notice that people give stuff up way earlier than I do.
I can work for ages on a particular thing if I am interested in it.
If I'm not then I can't do anything at all."
What a great phrase "I have no idea what condition my condition is in", thanks @octatonic
I have to say that I identify totally with all of that, sometimes it is a blessing, and sometimes not.
