@sirgalahad Not often I will tell someone that I am an autie on the spectrum. I relate it to a pendulum, in that some days I can handle things better than other days. Usually there is a response "but you don't look sick". That is the same phrase used with my lupus, even nurses have said that to me. People want to clearly and irrevocably define someone, which is just not possible.
