This is exactly what I was going to suggest. They don't need to go into detail about your diagnosis, but mentioning that you have trouble opening up but really are excited about joining will make a difference. These women can also be a great resource for practicing answering questions about yourself and your goals. During recruitment, try to smile and make eye contact as well, because body language can speak volumes. Good luck!
