melindrea , 16 days ago @quinze @actuallyautistic To me it very, very much depends on how close you are to the person and their general opinion on things. I'm openly autistic and I have told one of my niblings (who agrees, but for reasons isn't seeking diagnosis at the moment) that I think they are too. Someone who acts negatively around the idea of me being autistic is not someone I'd try to tell about being autistic. And at the end of the day, all I can do is be myself and try to field questions.
