A rightly sensitive and complex subject all round, for some reasons I have acquaintances seek my counsel on this subject and in the absence of a diagnosis, which can be hard to get, I suggest applying any of the no harm mitigating strategies often suggested where possible, if it works, you'll probably recognise that, then you can make adaptations with your control at least, a formal diagnosis might not make as much difference as one might feel it should.

- mrglick 3y agoThere are a lot of therapies that can be helpful for people on the autism spectrum and aren’t harmful. One example might be helping people learn how to get out of “Defense Mode”, as advocated by https://www.aspergerexperts.com https://www.aspergerexperts.com (there’s a bit of a sales vibe here since they are a business, but the general perspective has proven very helpful to me as a parent of someone on the spectrum). It’s true that these same therapies might generally be helpful for all people, but that’s why it’s a spectrum.
