Totally relate to this. I’ve tried to highlight the more “relatable” elements of it by disclosing it while talking about a nerdy hyperfixation

I've been trying to hide the fact that I'm on the spectrum for years, which has taken a major toll on me, so seeing this video was reassuring in (1/2)

This happens so often to me it's even worse when it's with people who consider themselves not ableist but then get annoyed when you show symptoms

in my experience anything I say is taken badly bc even if it's something common like ADHD if I say it's disabling for me, suddenly it gets weird

i feel like this is the only reason there is push behind categorizing adhd under the autism umbrella even though it probably is

Autism is going to change how you interact with other humans, ADHD not so much.

I feel like we should interact first before divulging if we don't want our disclosures to become detached from our personalities.

I'm actually more likely to reveal the autistic before the "I have tourette syndrome". tourettes is like even more stigmatized, it sucks. I have to

I bet if someone responds with “Oh cool! What’re your special interests?” they’ll end up being a decent match 🙌🏻

mastacheata :
I would have no idea how to react to the disclosure of autism other than saying "ok" It's such a broad term and we'd probably need to move way past

I've only been disabled for 2 years and when I disclose I can't walk, they almost all just unmatch without saying anything.

Yup. Have been figuring out that I’m autistic as well as struggling with a new physical (but invisible) disability from chronic pain. Dating’s hard
