How (not) to diagnose your partner

Diagnosing your partner as autistic can be a poisoned gift. Some things to keep in mind:

1. Your partner will not change to be how you want them once they have discovered who they truly are.

2. A diagnosis is not always an identity. An identity is not always liberating.

3. Check (your) neurotypical privilege. Deconstruct (your) neurotypical identity.
