Summary
In which Spencer realises he is both autistic and not straight. He's got more support than he realises, but he has to let people in first.
-_-
“Can I ask you something?”
Reid blinked. “Of course.”
Morgan rolled the Gatorade bottle between his hands. “When did you decide I was an asshole?”
Spencer opened his mouth, but Morgan wasn’t done.
“What about our friendship made you think you couldn’t be open with me? ‘Cause I’ve been going over these past few months in my head, and there were so many times when you coulda just told me the truth.”

Spencer Reid and an autism diagnosis: Star-crossed lovers

It took Spencer a moment to realise what she was saying. “Oh,” he replied, a bit thrown. “I’m not autistic.”

Summary
"I hope she was worth it." Rossi said, taking a sip of his coffee.
Morgan joined in, a smile on his face. "I hope it was a she."
(An episode-AU of 3x16, wherein Reid is gay and his sexuality played a large part in the bullying he endured when he was younger. Morgan's comment hits a bit too close to home)
