Life changing events happen to all of us.  Some are good things, like a new member of the family coming along. Others are not, such as an accident or injury. Still others can really go either way.  As human beings we can’t keep these things bottled up inside us for very long and have the need (or desire) to reveal the issue or event to someone.

In the world of those of us on the spectrum, this can be especially difficult.  Not only for the decision to speak about it  - but exactly whom to mention your recent diagnosis.  Apprehension and anxiety can be very high for the Aspie, and for the recipient of the now revealed diagnosis – which is usually a neurotypical friend or family member.

This visit, my co-host Kathy and I talk about the “Big Reveal” and conclude this two-part conversation about the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder and how it affects not only the life of the person who has the disorder, but to family, wives/husbands/partners, friends and co-workers.
