I am talking to a guy I met through online dating/ when tell someone you have autism

Rainbowgirl

When is the best time to tell someone that you have autism when your dating?  Also I have cerebral palsy, dyspraxia and epilepsy. Its just don't want to put this guy off me because I really like him.  I have only been speaking to him for a couple days and we have not yet met in person which I would think be a better tell him face to face rather than messaging but would like to know if anyone has any advise? Also the guy is neurotypical person.

  • If you want to avoid any awkwardness at a face to face meeting you could try a video call first. They've then seen you and you can go ahead with a meeting.

    I'd not disclose everything on the first meeting. They may or may not notice. Then see how it goes. If you get on well it doesn't really matter and you can leave for some time till you know each well.

    You want them to like you for who you are.
