Your autism with ? That not a psychiatrist or psychologist just a good friend or family member understanding and accepting.

My family doesn't tend understand autism and when I tried to explain it to like certain aspects of my personally do to autism to them they say they don't want to hear about it or that they don't want to talk about it. I think it's an obsession but I'm just trying to explain myself or others all the time or sometimes.

I just want to good friend or family member that I could talk to about my autism so they'll understand or that I won't need to talk about it to them so much because if they do run into one of my quirks they'll understand.

I can't really talk to my family about it, either. They're a bunch of curbies stuck in the 20th Century. I'm of the new world of acceptance. It's very awkward. I can talk to my friends about it.
