Day 4: Reactions to Coming Out as Autistic

If you are autistic or someone in your family is - what are the reactions people have to your disclosing the fact? Do you disclose it?

When my nephew was diagnosed, my family all shrugged our shoulders and accepted him as he is. We treated him like anyone else in the family and included him in everything from fishing to waterskiing. We love his sense of humor and his stories from the army. As an MP, he did not distinguish between officers and enlisted men when making arrests. That's how it should be, right? One would think so, but it seems a colonel and his wife thought they should have been given a pass on a DUI, once : )
