Hi, I was diagnosed with ASD at 37 last year and it has explained a lot for me, but still getting my head round it.
My eldest daughter is 16 next month and has noticed and commented on things that I struggle with, for example social interaction difficulties, taking longer to process information or to reply when asked a question by people unfamiliar to me, my rituals and so on.
I really don’t know whether to tell her the reason is that I’m autistic, so it explains why I am like I am to her, or whether it’s best leaving well alone. Has anybody had any experiences of this themselves as an autistic parent and what was the outcome?
Thank you for reading.
