Autism in men that us undiagnosed

I have been learning alot about autism and the traits but it's hard to tell someone you love that they have traits of autism, how do you deal with someone who thinks they are not autistic? Do I carry on treating them that they are and how do I get help for this?

    I was in a relationship with an undiagnosed autistic man for a couple of years.

    We remain good friends.

    We both sought a diagnosis for him and after about 20 years got it.

    However, he never recognised autism in me as I didn't recognise it in myself.

    A couple of years ago I 1st suggested to him that I thought I was autistic but he didn't see it.

    Actually, I am autistic and my life has been very impacted by it.
