    My mom was just like “do you think you could get more scholarships with an official diagnosis?” after mentioning a friend suggested I was autistic. Don’t think I’ve ever had someone doubt it. Guess I’m just too weird. 😨

      The same day I got my diagnosis (in my 40s) I told both of my parents.

      My Mom’s response: “Well, I always knew you were special!”

      My Dad’s response: “That’s bullshit!”
