Is there a good way to explain how your autism caused you to misunderstand a situation? (without making it seem like you’re purposefully trying to victimize yourself)

I look at the person and say “I’m autistic, I interpreted it like x,y,z because x,y,z. Sometimes I will miss social cues and it can lead to misunderstandings. In the future are there any things I should assume or do to improve our communication?”
