Raising NT children (DDs in particular) when you aren't

Does anyone have any tips on raising DDs who are NT as an Aspie mother?

My eldest (8, DS) and I get on really well - we can obsess about Minecraft and Pokemon together, we are both very literal, I'm pretty good with helping him manage his anger, he's still very straightforward, friendships seem to be pretty straightforward too.

My older DD (now 6) has just started doing the "girl" type interactions with her friends that I never got the hang of as a child (or now) and I am starting to feel like I don't "get" her quite as well as I did. She's pretty direct, which I am encouraging. I'm also encouraging her to verbally share her emotional state, and why, so I can understand how to help her better.

DD2 is only 4, and I'm really confident with children that age.

Generally just looking for words of wisdom and experiences of parents in my position with older daughters.

Thank you in advance.
