today i worked up the courage to tell my best friend i have autism...

and it went really well! he was very sympathetic, understanding and sweet. were as when I've tried in the past with other people there always like "well i know this person and that person with autism and you're nothing like them...." and its just very irritating so i never tell people.. but I'm glad i told him and he can understand why some of my behaviors are strange compared to the norm, just felt like sharing maybe ya'll can relate :)

everyone in my life after I was 10 knew about my autism without my control, even people at new schools, because from what I hear, they find out because commonly the teacher would say something to the class the day before I'd arrive like "tomorrow we will have a new student joining us, his name is ______ and he has autism"
