Newly Diagnosed 33 year old adult - finding it hard to process. Any suggestions?

i have just been diagnosed with ASD at 33 years of age. I am a teacher and a father of 3. I don't know how to feel about it or what I need to do next. Do i tell people do i not? I would love some advise please. Thanks!

See I feel that it’s ok to tell others because it demonstrates some degree of openness and enables any reasonable adjustments to be put in place at work or among friends it gives them insight to better support you.

Thanks Anthony for your response. I really do value everyone's opinion.

Do you not feel like people will judge you or treat you differently? I suppose i am anxious about peoples reactions especially those who hold me in high regard. Also those that will think that i am making it up or have not got anything because i have gone 33 years.
