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.

  • It seems you are keen to get the word out about your diagnosis, which is entirely your choice, but as others have mentioned, just be on your guard.

    People tend to have mixed responses when disclosing their diagnosis and although I am all for making ASD more widely and understood, it is still a very personal thing.  The way I see it a diagnosis doesn't change anything as I am still the same person, so I disclose on a need to know basis for that reason.

    I don't see it being any different from saying you have IBS or you are dyslexic.  That doesn't mean that there is anything wrong from letting people know in your social circle.  Hope it all goes well and everyone is really positive and supportive.
