My 12yo got diagnosed with autism. They refuse to acknowledge it, call it stupid, say everyone's a little autistic. I'm not forcing it but the denial worries me.

They have the diagnosis. They're not accepting it. Now what?

How do you support someone (especially a kid) who has a diagnosis they don't want to claim?

A diagnosis is information, not a verdict. It took me a while to believe that, but it's true.

You're doing better than you think you are. Truly.
