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 : )
