[quote=Anonymous]My kid has very high functioning HFA. My reaction would entirely depend on the reason for asking. If they were asking because they were trying to show they were supportive after seeing some of his difficulties, I might be ok with it. Or if they have their own SN kid and want to connect. But if they're just some kind of busybody, or if I just am feeling vulnerable that day ... not going to be interested in discussing it. Also, my ACTUAL friends are people I consider very close to me, so I told them about the diagnosis. So I don't think you're talking about true "friends." BTW, if someone who has observed your child in multiple settings over time has asked if they have autism, maybe you should think about why they asked? [/quote]
