Reactions when telling people you have Aspergers

"I can't say I'm surprised. I've known you for 9 years and it's always been obvious".

Other friends didn't really say anything.

I never really tell anyone. Need to work on that.

My mum said "You probably got that from me."
And I told one friend BEFORE I got my diagnoses and she started laughing and said "oh dear, of course you are not autistic! come on!" And since then I am afraid to tell anyone. So almost nobody knows.

"You can't possibly it. My dad probably has it and you're nothing like him. It's anxiety you have." Stupid woman. And she works with disabled people.

No-one has ever suggested anxiety.
