I 41F was just diagnosed in August; I began suspecting that I was autistic in the spring of this year. Up until then, I just thought I was doing this adult thing wrong.

As are most of us, I am very literal. One of my mom's favorite memories of me as a little kid was how smart I was when she told me to put my shoes and socks on and I argued that you cant put your shoes on before your socks. They should have had an inclining way back then lol

I run into issues with communication bc I find it difficult to differentiate btwn being transparent and just over sharing.

So when I am trying to moderate how much I share, I feel uncomfortable bc it feels like I'm hiding things. Its always been like an all or none situation for me. You get nothing from me or all my emotional vomit.

Anyone else struggle with finding a balance in the middle ground ? How do you decide what is something that should be shared vs something that should be kept to myself?
