I have "high functioning" autism. I can explain myself clearly when there's a purpose such as in my job but have difficulty when it relates to emotions or difficult situations. I'm very lucky to have a friend I can talk to about things but he doesn't understand I have difficulty communicating. He thinks I'm being awkward and for various reasons I won't go into, it's reflecting on his ego. I think that's the only way I can explain.
I just want to know if anyone has got a link with a brief description (video or words) or picture I can send him which explains we can have difficulty communication problems or emotions. I think if he could see that it's not "just me" and that it's the autism, it'd help. When I've searched it seems to be more about for example, children asking for help at school. I'm an adult! He knows I'm autistic but we have never had chance to have a good chat about how it affects me (usually because it's easier for me to listen to other people than talk about myself).
Edit - I think an illustration or meme-y type thing would be useful.
Thanks
