I’m pretty sure my friend is Autistic. Should I tell them?

For far too long, external judgement has defined the neurodivergent experience. Let’s not continue that problem.

Welcome back to Autistic Advice, a semi-regular advice column where I respond to reader questions about neurodiversity, accessibility, disability justice, and self-advocacy from my perspective as an Autistic psychologist. You can submit questions or suggest future entries in the series via my Tumblr ask box, linked here.
