How to find out if a friend has autism / is on the spectrum?

I need help.

I want to ask her directly but obviously that's not a great idea.lol

Yeah probably need to ask her. Or talk to her about autism, make up something about a friend having it...then see what she says.

Some days, i admire people with the nerves to have friends like this (or worse). I couldn't do it.

What if the mirror prefers to be alone?

if she posts on the dxp frontpage

Would she have been diagnosed?

Some people wouldn't know. Especially if they're not too far up the spectrum.

What makes you think she has autism?

1.She has several aspie friends and is also dating one as well.

2.Her language choice / difficulty communicating what she feels

3.she's super literal

4. other reasons

lack of empathy

repetitive language

need for routine/ritual

rejects physical contact

prefers to be alone

short attention span

sensitivity to light/touch/sound

the lack of empathy is not necessarily true btw

Then she probably does. I wouldn't ask though. She probably doesn't like the label and just wants to be seen like everyone else.

Please, never ask her.

And once you know, then what?
