Here's a message for parents: If your kid is autistic *TELL THEM*.

I get so sad reading stories of people who struggled thinking they were morally broken until they found out they were different, only to discover that others had the word that explained things, but didn't want to share it.

Nobody catches autism by being told they are autistic. It doesn't make you more autistic. It just lets you know you are different, not defective.
