Is it ever a good idea to ask somepony seriously whether they're autistic?

@pony It depends on the situation. I can think of a bunch of times being asked would have made my life much easier.

@ceruleanspark I doubt I'd ask even if I were 90% sure they were in general conversation since, whether or not they are, I'd adjust my interaction with them according to their behavior, but, if I could tell that asking them kindly out loud would queue others in to the fact that this person works well with a different approach then I can see that helping possibly.

probably never in casual conversation.

@pony In my experience, when people do ask, it's not to your face. As an example, in high school, my year went skiing for the school trip. I was having fun, but I was terrified of the actual skiing (A fear of heights will do that). Anyway, we go for the lessons and I'm terrified but I eventually get down the slope. It was fun. I get back to the top and one of my friends pulls me aside. apparently while I was going down, the instructor had turned to the rest of my classmates and said "so, is that kid retarded or what?" so yeah, usually people just talk about it behind your back.

@treesy You put some very strong laxatives in that instructor's water the next day, right?

@kanra I wish.. No, I just didn't go to any more lessons and practiced with my friends instead.

@treesy Aww man. Excesively strong laxatives are so fun. Once someone in my cousin's class did it, and the teached didn't show up for a week.
