    Neurotypicals know you’re autistic too, they just don’t point it out because of social rules.

      Had a boss mad at me once, shout/ask if I was autistic in front of the whole department.

      Told him, “I was never tested, but being on the spectrum wouldn’t surprise me - now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go have a chat with <Head of HR>”

      It was a children’s hospital too, our area had artwork painted by autistic patients for autism awareness.

      It became very clear, very quickly with why he has never been allowed to see his grandchildren. His poor kids had to put up with his shit for 18 years, I used that as a reason to go back to a previous job where I was much happier as soon as I heard a spot was open.
