Late diagnosed - are we over analysing what we do?

Are we over thinking our reactions behaviours ect. after masking for so long? I dont think i thought about my behaviour ect. so much before i discovered that i was autistic. I know that i am not masking as much as i was, and it feels good. My contact with people is limited from choice, and im ok with that. I think that its realising i dont have to be with people, if i dont want to be.

    I have had several breakdowns over the years, finally diagnosed aged 60.  I feel the overthinking is an autistic mind trying to understand why I can't be like "normal" folk.  Some of these burnous have been horrendous and I'm only just starting to climb out of the current one.

    It's really hard to unpack who/what I really am
