I am wondering how many people tell others they have Asperger's? Most people would never know with me until they catch me staring or they ask me a question & I give a weird answer.

I tell people and I am honest with people because to start a relationship with a lie and then they find out about it after the first date or second date they dump you because you are different --for an aspie it will hurt more than when it happens to an NT-it happened to me and it was another aspie that hurt me. If I can't be accepted for who I am it makes for a difficult relationship -I was already hurt by an aspie who is very superficial.

I have told people in the past and kind of regretted afterwards, usually because the people I have told do not understand what Asperger's is. I have yet to meet someone who would be particularly malicious to someone with Asperger's Syndrome or Autism, but I just try to get through life with people thinking I'm a little "odd."

I work with a few people that are malicious and think I have control over everything and they make crass remarks-they are out there and some should know better.
