Is crying easily/frequently an autism thing?

I cry super easily, and it's embarrasing. Like obviously there's crying when you're overstimulated or about to have a meltdown, but I shut down and start crying when trying to have "difficult" conversations, and the words just don't come out of my mouth, like they refuse to leave. I try to rehearse these lines before hand but even the thought of the conversation makes me cry. I cry after bad tests, bad interviews, bad interactions with people. I cry when I think about talking to my dad. I choke up and start crying when I try to come out to important people (I'm trans). I have never seen anyone cry as much as I do and I'm incapable of holding it in either: it physically hurts and feels like I can't breathe. I hate it. Is this something that's affected by autism or is it unrelated?

(PS. I have depression and anxiety too but this has been a thing since childhood. I was always labelled "emotionally sensitive". Though it has gotten worse over the years as I grew up rather than better. Super frustrating)
