I have came out to 4 people in my life about my autism so far. I have considered all of them as caring empathetic people. 2 of them were very nice, offering to listen to me since it's a lot of things in mind and lot of feelings. The other two had a reaction that surprised me. One said nothing but "thank you for sharing" and right after that asked me for a favor. It felt like this big reveal of mine ment nothing to them. The other one asked me "is it officially diagnosed?" And didn't respond to my answer only a day after writing a message "do you want to hang out?". I'm sad because of these reactions and I honestly don't know how to interpret them.. it felt like they don't care or understand how huge of a deal this is for me.. did anyone have similar experiences?
dont have any friends lolprobs dont need to tell anyone, they can probably guess its one thing or another.the drivers at work asked someone if i ever talk, and its probs pretty obvious theres something odd anyway. one chatty young worker started randomly asking me about psychopathy as if he was guessing along those lines. their guesses are about as good as any diagnosis anyway as a diagnosis is just a random guess as all the disorders share the exact same symptoms.
