hello everyone im new. i always knew that there was something different about me and after reading alot about aspergers i am sure that is it. now that i know about aspergers alot of things are making sense to now and im glad to know im not alone. i want to know if i should tell people i have aspergers? is it ok? will it help people understand me more? not that it matters because ill probably just blurt it out during an uncomfortable lapse in conversation.

First of all, welcome to WrongPlanet!

To tell or not to tell...hmm. So far, I've only told people I'm close to--even my coworkers don't know (though they do realize I'm a bit "odd" :lol:

).

Every situation is different. Sometimes it's hard to know whether or not it's appropriate.

Also, some people don't even know what it is, so be prepared for giving some explanation in the face of a few blank looks.

If you're close with your family and/or some friends, start there and gauge their reactions. I would hold off telling those who are just acquaintances/coworkers/classmates, at least for now.

Again, welcome!
