The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

As an example, If I told a friend that I have High functioning autism.

In my profession (computer programming) pretty much everybody is used to it, and there's no problem talking about it. I can't speak for other areas. I know people in our church who are high-function autistics. Both are active leaders in the church. But I don't know how widely they are known to be autistic. (I know because I had one of them in Sunday School.)

It's ok, I misquoted you there sorry..
Oh well! If that's how they wanna be, then it's their loss. You've got Christ on your side so, you'll be smiling the whole way. You've got yourself the best deal ever. Christ Jesus as your best friend. Friends who don't stay in our lives, were never meant to stay in the 1st place. Not to worry, Christ will bring you true destiny helpers (sincere friends).

I would say that by telling someone you are Autistic, if they then decide not to be your friend, it would seem to me they never were your friend to begin with.

I cant imagine why it would... there's nothing to be ashamed of in it and it doesn't change who you are... so if they know you already and like you, it wouldn't affect a friendship.
