I usually say something like oh yeah thanks for noticing!

Remember, deny it at all costs, unless you know they won’t judge you. If someone knows for sure that you’re autistic, then they’re more likely to be consciously and/or unconsciously biased against you. Leave the plausible deniability open. Stay safe out there!
Nah, I’m autistic af, and if they can’t handle that, I want them out of my life.
That’s also a fair choice. I mean more with like, acquaintances, coworkers, employers, distant family members. If you have to fake it around your friends, they’re not your friends. Also, not acting any differently, just denying autism. Can’t imagine it working too well, but it might. Neurotypicals do some mental gymnastics sometimes.
I’m still not normal passing enough for this to make any sense. For a well educated trans latina, it’s better to play into being strange, make it cool instead of something I’m ashamed of. I’ve personally found that confidence in who you are can make up for a lot.
So to be clear, I shouldn’t shrug and say “probably”?
Probably not. Wouldn’t personally recommend it myself lol. Say something like “I don’t think so”.
could stay neutral. “beats me, im not a doctor”
Fuck that. I’d rather not associate with people like that.
I don’t feel that many would. Unfortunately, there’s plenty of places where you can’t choose whom you have to deal with.
That darn face never fails to make me chuckle.
