Hi, I’ve only very recently been diagnosed with ASD (recent as in I received my report today recent). I’m looking for advice on how I should disclose this to my Mum. I’m 22 and originally brought up that I thought I was autistic when I was 14 and she didn’t take it well. I was assessed twice before getting the diagnosis and she doesn’t know that I seeked a second opinion. I’m just looking for advice on how to bring it up.
I wouldn't bother saying anything - it will only cause conflict and they probably won't believe you. It's a fight waiting to happen.
