My parents never told me that I was autistic and had to find out about that myself. I asked Ohel and Yachad about making a special Asperger’s social group and they keep on saying that they’re working on it but it never comes to fruition. All I see is autistic people ashamed about their autism and not wanting anyone else to know about it. A neurotypical from the five towns has a close friends with Asperger’s in Far Rockaway where I live but won’t tell me his name because he doesn’t want anyone else to know. My mother and my mother’s friend told me that Orthodox people are actually ashamed of telling people about their children’s diagnosis and discloses the information.
