It’s not a good idea to go around diagnosing people as autistic. It’s worse to go around un-diagnosing autistic people. In the first instance, you’re probably relying on a stereotyped view of autism. In the second, you’re doubting a person who has possibly spent decades not knowing who they are and why they struggle so much in a world not designed for them. Un-diagnosing an autistic person can be incredibly damaging - don’t do it.
