MODERATORS
I went to a nerd convention (probably Supernova) and there was a stall there raising awareness for autism and I wanted a cape because they were giving out capes (I've since lost the cape, very sad), and the guy there was like "are you autistic?" And I'm like "I don't think so" (thinking I guess they ask everyone or something). A year later, I'm helping out at this nerd shop and a couple comes in and the guy's like, "do you remember me? I think we met at the con last year. I don't want to offend you, but I think you're undiagnosed." Turns out he was right.
Did you get the cape though?
I did! But I've since lost it sadly.
