I'm just interested whether they think it's a problem or not. With my own, most people will say "I'm so sorry" like it's a disease that's going to kill me in a few months time. Lol. I don't know why some people feel like that with it. I personally embrace it. I love being autistic and having a love of knowledge on another level and info dumping to my family. I like how I can eat the same foods, be repetitive with the same films (thank you, subtitles), I love how it makes me unique!
I wonder if one day it will be seen in a more positive light?
Family members and others who have relatives who are autistic have been very supportive. Indeed some knew before I did. I then told a close friend who I thought would understand and got sympathy, which took me aback. I had to explain how pleased I was. Same for someone I have known for many years who told me how good I was at my job despite my Autism.Had to explain I was good at what I did because of it. All depends on how well they understand Autism.
