Does anyone else not tell anyone about their autism?
Because it's only a recent realisation (like over the past year) and it's not yet an official diagnosis I find it really difficult letting people know because I feel people are mostly too ignorant to understand.
My two best friends and two of my other friends know but that's it (plus close relatives and my college counsellor).
One of the new guys in my group is autistic but iruggle socialising with him so I haven't managed to talk to him about it. Some of the people in the group are rude to him though because apparently he comes across 'creepy' and it winds me up so I defend him and attempt to talk to him.
It's pretty much stuff like that that stops me telling people.
What are some of your experiences with it?
