  • HI! I am a selfdiagnosed aspie.  I will tell you my opinion: don't tell your personal problems in your job place.

    (Sorry, i'm not english). I don't tell anyone i am an aspie. The same way i don't tell people if  have an infection or a micose or HIV or money issues. This is only my opinion, of course i maybe wrong.  You just do your job and don't make life easy for your bullies. Because we, autistic persons, we are  bullied all the time. No need to make it easier for bullies to bullying us. Your bully may be your father, your son, your brother, you coworker... seek professional help, seek this forum, whatever, just don't tell.  Of course i maybe wrong. I am 47, things are slightly different in my age.
