I remember coming out to my parents, idk, 5 years ago? Nothing changed after that
Of course you could argue that I& #39;m an extremely private person (to my parents) and they didn& #39;t exactly react negatively, but nothing positive happened either??

I said my thing, mom and dad had a comment or two, and then they went back to what they were doing
Nothing changed and that& #39;s maybe the worst thing that could have happened in my case

The reason I& #39;m saying this, because there& #39;s always a reason, is that the same thing happened when I told them (and lil sis) that I might be autistic
We had a talk, I answered some questions, and then I handed them some educational papers I had read myself
Except

(And I didn& #39;t expect this from dad or lil sis) mom never spoke of those papers again??? I don& #39;t even know if she still owns the physical copy I gave her :/
One of the things I hoped would change is that they/she would be a bit more lenient for my... quirks

But I hoped wrong... she still expects me to "just do x or y" and to magically stop crying whenever I& #39;m upset, which I can& #39;t on both accounts
And now, almost two years after that autism talk, and 17 days after my official diagnosis, I& #39;m honestly not sure if I want to tell them :(
I have not yet learned what my boundaries are and I fear that none of them will respect them once I do, whether they know or not*

Until this thread only two people knew and I went from "everyone can know idgaf" to "no one is allowed to know" and I don& #39;t even know if anyone else still cares because no one asks about it??
*both lil sis and mom can be huge dicks to my probably autistic dad without reason
