In similar ways, I can definitely relate. I deliberately studied and practiced sarcasm and storytelling for several years before I got comfortable with it and it landed half-decently. And I still get locked up around certain kinds of people. Therapy is definitely a good consideration. As is general research to help understand what it might mean in general. If you're able to in your area, definitely try and find a therapist who understands autism. Otherwise, from experience, it can be a real impediment. It's a lot to handle and I hope you're doing well with it. Feel free to ask any questions you might have. I'd be glad to help however I can.
