Good
So the nuanced answer to your question is, please tell her about autism but don't state it as a fact, like in the title of this thread.

You might not need a diagnosis for yourself (some people do and that's OKAY, you have no right to criticise this), but it sounds wrong to say to people "I am autistic" if you don't have one.
It's clear in your situation that you're not saying that to get attention from people, but there are some people who would proclaim themselves as autistic just because they think it will make them interesting and quirky or give them an excuse to be rude. Nobody wants that.

I told many times I found MY answer!! !! I took MY decision weighing ALL pros and cons.
And my final decision is NOT to tell my shrink, only speak about my symptoms.
Stop all insisting ! !!
Please stop this thread!
Because I had enough comments and I said I took a decision as to the subject of this thread and still, people are responding to me by making the same comments again and again.

Each time someone responds it goes to the top. If you stop responding, it will likely fall.

- I never said you were in US!! !
- I never criticized people who want a diagnosis, I am surprised and don't understand
- again stop telling me what I should say it is a long time I am repeating "thank you , I took my decision"
STOP all saying that I may not say I am autistic because of not having official diagnosis, I know I am. I may say it!! !
If I don't want a diagnosis, it is my choice, it does not make me less autistic.
STOP insisting I should ask for a diagnosis.
Please stop this thread.
