Hello everyone
I am 29 and diagnosed with Autism (well the document actually says Asperger's Syndrome) but was only diagnosed in my early 20s so never had any support growing up. I am married to a lovely lady (not autistic) who does her level best to love me and care for me, as I try to do for her. However she says that because I didn't have any extra support when I was younger, I sometimes make mistakes in social situations about knowing boundaries and what things I can and can't say to people. This has happened recently, when I inadvertently said some things to someone which actually got me into a bit of bother.
But my question is this: how can I find out what the boundaries are? How can I know what things are and aren't acceptable to say to each/every person? It feels like some (/most?) people just know the answer to this, but I don't understand how they work it out, and that then leaves me in a state and, as is often the case, vulnerable to making mistakes. And sadly sometimes the mistakes look bad when they weren't intended as anything of the sort.
Anyway, if someone can advise I would be very grateful. Thank you very much.
