Dear All,
Soon Merry Christmas to You all, but before please let me ask for your support and opinions! 
as a recently late-diagnosed woman (42) I’ve read that for me it is difficult to understand the rules of friendship and that sometimes I realize that I can talk outside of social norms. For me, somehow some taboos are not. But I wish to have friends. I’ve also read that it is a major breakthrough in autism to have good friendships, and that I, with ASD, sometimes ask too much from a friend (that was written too). I wanna evolve!
So here I am asking you about rules. On Monday, with a female and very new friend, we will make gingerbread at her home, and I thought let’s concentrate on this scenario. So my rules:
- Kind and honest gift for my friend. Being attentive about her and her husband’s flat.
- Asking about how her last week was, how her family is.
- Not telling her I got recently diagnosed, because it is a very fresh “get to know each other” connection. ( it is gonna be hard
) - When we talk about men, I have to form smoother visions about relationships, sex and marriage. She is married and it is important not to criticise her marriage with my too bold visions and opinions. Understaning the concept of taboos.
- Trying to stay myself somehow and to have fun! Keeping it light!
- Preparing how and when to say goodby not to have a shutdown.
- Remembering if and when I make mistakes, I can ask her to talk it through and variate my manners and make it better!
How is the list? What do you think? Do you know some articles about this? And thanks you all!!!
