Informing everyone of my aspergers

Whats-His-Face

hi I was hoping you guys could help. I want to write a post on Facebook informing everyone of my diagnosis but have not idea what to write or how to word it. I’m affected mainly in social situations and I see/react to things differently to atypicals.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • You could do it quietly on Facepack by sharing some posts about autism and dropping broad hints in the comments.  Then when you have shared two or three posts, you can say that 'as someone who is autistic' you know exactly about why x,y, and z should be done, or how John Smith feels abouut his treatment, etc.

    Or you could private message your friends on Facepack and say that you have finally realised why you act a certain way, you don't like parties, or you have what are considered strange eating habits ... whatever your symptoms happen to be. 

    Or you could simply put a post on - 'I have been diagnosed as autistic, and it at last explains a lot about me'.

    You may get people saying they are 'sorry to learn that', which may not be what you want to hear.  I am not sorry I am autistic, it doesn't mean any more to me than saying I was left handed or that I struggle climbing the stairs.
