three i think, with one making an attempt recently. got a sister who appears to get it but we're not really close. two friends. one who's kid got diagnosed a couple years after mine, then got herself diagnosed. the other recently went from "haha yeah im totally weird enough to be autistic haha" to "well shit". after a conversation we had where a whole bunch of experiances she's had dismissed by others, were also things i experiance. and my ex appears to be making an honest effort recently in an ateempt to connect with our son. fewer lazy cliche phrases, more pauses and thoughtful interactions from her to him. thats been really nice to see.
