What benefits have you been encountering from being open about your autism diagnosis, and how do you deal innerly with the negative ones?

Doesn’t it scare you the idea of having a kid who has a high probability of being autistic? How do you tell your friends and family that you are autistic?

Did you ever think you also have ADHD? There seems to be much overlap with executive function.

If you had a diagnosis before kids what would you have done to get ready for the overwhelm?
