Being outted

Post Reply New Topic

I woke up this morning, was speaking with my mom. I don't speak with my fathers side of my family at all, and she informed me that recently my sister told them I'm autistic. I felt devastated.. It's like someone who you trusted, when I have in the past told her not to, go behind my back and tell people who I don't want to know, your most personal secret. I told a NT good friend about the situation, and she couldn't understand me since I don't "talk" to that side.. and there are reasons for that. I feel a intrusion of privacy, and I lost trust in a family member.. Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did you handle it?

Tell your sister how this has made you feel and ask her why she did this.

Perhaps she felt that she was being helpful, that they would understand you better.

I do agree that this is not HER information or diagnosis, and she was absolutely wrong to tell anyone anything private about you.
