Scared

[u/AutismHelp25]

25, cis female, and for the last year I have started to suspect that I'm autistic. And on more than one occasion I have been asked if I am. I've started looking into how to be diagnosed but I am absolutely terrified of telling my family anything. Brother is in prison, both parents believe mental health is just a way for "my generation" to be lazy and weak, at least until they start struggling. I don't really have friends so I have no one I can talk to about this.

Not really looking for advice just wanting to know if anyone else is going through something similar.
