I've written this post like three times over I can't get it right... so I'll just skip to the important stuff, I was diagnosed with high functioning autism two weeks ago (first picked up because of my violent body twitches and lack of eye contact about a month ago by my psychologist) I never would have thought I was autistic because I'm so happy on the internet, I have hundreds of friends online! but only 2 in real life, I didn't think of a connection, either way, I was just wondering if anyone had some tips for getting jobs? calming down the body twitches? telling family? (I have a very large reunion coming up next month abroad and I'm kinda worrying about telling that side of the family about it... I haven't seen them in 14 years...)

Any advice would be really appreciated!!
