Want to know how to tell your family you are Autistc? Here are the top strategies I used. These are the exact strategies I used to tell my family that I was on the autism spectrum, when I received my diagnosis. It is good to note that everyone’s experience with family members will be different, but this is a general rule that I would stick to when explaining your diagnosis to family. 1.Explain The Process By explaining the process of how you got to and how your assessment took place it will allow them to feel part of the journey and almost feel like they are there with you. This is good for them to understand and connect with what you need to tell the, 2.Research It is important to present research to your family as extra information of they are going to need more information on this subject. I would suggest finding the best web pages or YouTube video that explain your diagnosis and provide them with these to look at in their own time. 3.Full Picture Try your best to explain it to everyone in your family group, as you only explain it to a small amount of your family what you may have issues so that when you are with with other members and you are in other situations they can help you.

"What's your favorite animal?"

I feel like that would be kind of a hard question to answer because if we're talking about domesticated animals then that would be the dog... but if we're talking about types of (nondomesticated) animals then that would be fish. Then I would say my favorite animal would be a cuttlefish (which is a cephalopod and not a fish) but then I have other favorites as well because I love animals.

I kind of feel like this might be an autistic trait...I have been meaning to book an appointment to do the test because....I suspect that I am on the spectrum.

This is how to tell your partner you are autistic! 3 strategic ways to help you explain autism to someone. I am asked a lot of the time, how to I tell someone I am autistic, or who do I tell my parents I have autism etc. This has had me thinking for a while, so I decided I would create a piece of content on this subject to help anyone on the autism spectrum who is struggling with this at the moment. 1.Be Open The first thing I did after my diagnosis (as my partner was present) was to be open and honest with family. Tell them everything you can about the process and about the diagnosis and what it means. This is the same for your partner, be as open as you can be. 2.Answer Questions Be mindful that your partner will want to ask you lots of questions on this subject so prepare yourself for lots of information regarding you autism diagnosis. It can be tedious and repetitive but that is just how it might be for a short while for them to get the full picture. 3.Provide Research One of the things I found most useful when educating anyone including your partner, about an autism diagnosis is to provide them with information on the subject. When I was diagnosed I picked up a bunch of leaflets and hand outs and also a DVD explaining what autism / aspergers was. This was good research that I was able to provide to my family for them to understand it. If you have anything to add to this, please pop it in a comment as I read every one.
