Coming out as autistic

A few years ago, I read something saying that gay people don’t just come out once, that we come out again and again throughout our lives. It is so true. When you ask us our coming out story, I guess you mean the first time we told someone, or when we told our parents. But the reality is a lot of straight people don’t realise we constantly come out. When I start at a new job, I worry about people finding out. When a sibling starts dating someone, I worry about it being said. I am always coming out.

The same can be said for being autistic. The similarities between the two has always struck me as significant.
