As an Autistic person who recognizes that many friends and interlocutors are also Autistic I can tell you that I have yet to discover a way to so much as suggest people look into it without terrifying and offending them.
A large part of the reason why I do what I do is to offset that reaction and let people recognize themselves in descriptions of the Autistic experience.
