    It must be very difficult considering the autistic diagnosis, but keep in mind as well that it’s really hard sometimes for anyone to ‘read’ people. Your heart is in the right place BECAUSE you want to connect socially and compassionately with people. Just keep up that effort, learn from your mistakes, be patient (and positive) with yourself, and most of all don’t be hard on yourself.
