How do I tell my parents about my ASD diagnosis?

I agree wit plastic,,,,,,, dont, not for a while. Reason being is that you will be adjusting to your new status and the last thing you need is to have conflict of any type.  

My mum was very defensive of me and would lay into anyone who suggested I was anything but perfect. 

Mums dont want their kids limiting their prospects,,,, thats what mums do.

I would concentrate on becoming the best nurse/support worker ever just a while longer. 

6 months after my diagnosis,,, I told my nephew, who is already diagnosed with ASD, with my sister and other nephews all around the table and my mum was there as well. She didnt want to make a fuss because she was sitting at a meal in someone else house where autism is an everyday thing.

So tell you mum at a meal/event where their are other people with autism also there to explain/show its not that bad a thing really if you are  "high Functioning". It takes management but its doable and possible.
