How do I tell EVERYONE That I'm Autistic?

don't tell anyone

I told my two best friends, my girlfriend, my sister, and my dad. I also talked with a former therapist about it. And randomly my dance teacher, which I feel dumb about (it actually seemed relevant at the time).

I have been having the urge to tell people, too, but I generally don't. I think the urge will pass when I have processed the diagnosis more.

Oh, sorry, that didn't help you with your question at all!

I just told them straight out that I have Asperger's. Most took it well.

A good freind of mine got really sick very quickly, there were complications and he had to go into a medicaly induced coma. To most people he just disappeared for a few weeks.

Anyway he got really sick of the questions and so put up a blog post. He put the link on facebook and emailed it to his friends and gave it to anyone who asked.

It might be a good way for you.

I learned in 6th grade I was a Aspie. So my mother told close family. As mothers do. Personally I've only told one person, which is my best friend and closest confident, who I tell everything to. While I Do not approve of telling everybody, since, from just being a creep and eavesdropping on any Aspie related convo I've learned ignorants think we're "ret-ed" (sorry don't use r word) so don't do that. The way I told my best friend, was that one day the school had an antibullying program. A part was about aspies and how we're victims, describing cases of aspies who were bullied into suicide. It got to me, and I cried. My friend later asked me what was wrong and if I was ok. I knew she could understand, so I swore her to secrecy and begged her not to think differently of me. Then I told her. And honestly a HUGE weight came off my shoulders. So tell, but only a few trustworthy people who, like my friend, whould replay, "Ahhh do that's why you know so much about *whatever you may obses about* (musical theater)"
