So therefore, is it best to just tell them right away, like maybe on a third date, before someone else tells them?
If you're able to get to a third date without a woman noticing you're autistic, you're very lightly brushed.

OR, she may recognize that you have social difficulty or communicate in usual ways, but she may not have the word to describe it.

Being unintentionally funny isn't necessarily a good thing, because a curious question could come off as an insult - "I love your hair. Did you cut it yourself", for example.

It could be they know or suspect anyway but are still giving you/date a chance, especially if you don't "pass" easily. I say let them, and be completely honest when asked but only then. Although, I can understand your desire to get it on the table and hopefully taken off quickly -- for the peace of mind.

This...


Don't dwell on it either when you tell her or after.

Just be who you are...that's all any of us can do.
