After our second date together she me asked on text the following day if I had a ‘disability’ so I told her I had Asperger’s she was like she knew the second she first saw me because she works children mental health. Then she kinda told me off and asked why I didn’t disclose my diagnosis in the first two dates and I told her it’s not simple because I worry that she will relegate my identity based on my diagnosis.
She seemed mad at me like I betrayed her trust even though it wasn’t my intention does she have right to feel that? As someone who’s pretty good at masking I’m not sure how she detected so quickly. Anyone who works in mental health or specialises in autism what’s the biggest give away of detecting someone with neurological condition even when they are masking?
