Who did you tell first and why?

I just got the confirmation that I have autism. Both my brothers have it but theirs is way more obvious. I am constantly masking it but now that I know for sure I want to tell people. I haven’t told my best friend yet or any of my other friends.

It’s your brain and your life - your autonomy to do what you want with the info provided. Anything but use it as an excuse to get out of trouble. And if you’re not up for telling/trusting someone with the information, absolutely try your best not to tell them.

I don’t really know. I feel like in my brain you should keep it to yourself unless someone asks
