Chapter 13 recapping my unexpected Autism and ADHD year: this week I'm talking about the pros and cons of telling friends and family you're autistic and when to do it once you yourself have realised. I'll talk about why I wanted to tell people but why it's also ok if you want to keep your diagnosis just to yourself.
People might react well when you tell them, people might react badly, others just won’t really care or be that interested. And it kind of doesn’t matter. It’s YOUR inner life and inner understanding of yourself, not theirs. However people react, you’re now living your authentic life and being the authentic you. You finally know yourself and have agency over yourself and the world around you, you’re going to realise maybe for the first time that you're driving a different car and that you can be a driver not a passenger from now on.

I'm going to keep posting the link to the AQ Self Test for autism every Sunday in case this is the first video in the series people come across. Take the self test (remember it's JUST a selftest) and see how you score. You may have been autistic all along and had no idea, like me:
