Someone outed me a few years ago and it felt pretty terrible at the time. Actually two people outed me, one on this forum and the other was my old boss.
I'm embracing of my autist label now, a few years later and those around me have come to terms with it also.
I remember the I'm feeling of being quite hurt and shocked by someone else's outing of me before I was ready though.
It's been a few years for me as an adult, female autist and I still struggle with acceptance because I've been masking for my entire life and passing as "nuero typical" for a very long time.
