A member asked:
What to do if i have a mild form of autism, should i tell my boyfriend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's moot: There's a continuum between pervasive developmental disorder (classic "true autism") and simply being a little strange, a little smart in different ways, a little clumsy in others. If he's your boyfriend, he probably likes you for these qualities. If you got diagnosed as a "mild autism" case a while back, and maybe even were given some therapy or other, you've found love so who cares?
