How do I tell them?

[Furn_93]

Early last year, I did the worlds stupidest thing....

I'm not like this anymore, but I was worried I was autistic. I took loads of tests on the internet (yeah I know thats real stupid but thats what I was like). I told all my friends (stupidly) and they don't treat it as much of an issue, but now i've realized how much of a complete moron i've been and I want to tell them i'm not, but I dunno how they'll take it.

I would like to add that I know that is a horrifically selfish, ignorant thing to do, so don't tell me its awful.... I was really depressed at the time so I easily convinced myself I was without any normal-minded thinking.

Well just tell them the truth. Tell them what you did and most friends if they are true friends will support you. We all do stupid stuff from time to time.

I wish you the best of luck.

I'm not sure I understand. You're saying you took one of those silly, completely inaccurate self diagnosis tests online and told everyone you were autistic and now want to recant the story? Do I have this right?

Unless they're talking about it and treating you in an obviously different way, I'd say leave it saone. A year is a long time, the chances that they're actually thinking about it (nevertheless remember it or frankly undersatnd or even care) are really slim. Why bring it up again? I think you're wrongly assuming that they think about you and your issues with the same intensity that you do. And we know that most teenagers (mercifully) don't.

Unless they're talking about it and treating you in an obviously different way, I'd say leave it alone.

Agreed. One likes (or dislikes) to think that their friends think about all the mistakes they've said. They probably don't remember and probably don't care. They have other things to worry about, and probably don't remember something you said last year.

Everyone makes mistakes. I'm sure all of your friends have done something they're not proud of.

To be honest, I don't find this much of an issue.

[Furn_93]

Phew. I thought it was really bad of me. I guess I over-reacted, because autism is a fairly bad thing to just make up having.

[Donkey]

It's not as bad if you were genuinely worried and not just attention seeking.

[Wolf Teen]

yeah, don't worry about it. They probably don't care. If they treat you the same, then i wouldn't worry about it :)

[Hyper]

If they don't give any attention to it..

Just do the same and they'll forget

[Halibut]

i would just tell them and be bluntly honest

[Stark]

They should be supportive.

if they're your true friends it shouldn't matter
