@maxi talking it over with my spouse (also autistic, but was diagnosed long before I was), I have a feeling that I won't *talk* about it as much in a few years. But I've had 40 years where I had no idea that the whole "are we sure I'm not an alien?" actually was me being autistic, so I've got some catching up to do >.>
