How can I tell my friend group that I have autism without them making fun of me for the rest of my life?
Idk i think functional autism is kinda cool
I say just live with it

Just tell them, no big deal. If they do, then they ain't real friends. Not joking around like friends do but actual stupid shit

You didn't even have to tell us and we'd still make fun of you for it.

Then you're a shitty person

You could share with them how nervous you probably feel bringing this up with them. I've noticed the people who don't have a mental/mood disorder don't really understand us. The more information about it the better. And, letting them know how they can be supportive friends to you and not treat you freakishly is good too.

You don't have to use the label. Just say something like "Can you guys be a little patient with me? I sometimes have trouble with [a type of issue]."
