Is it best to keep quiet

Bumblebee

 Whats the general view on telling people around you about ASD?

Does it tend to help or does it just add further complications?

There's some people I want to tell and others I feel I should but wouldn't know where to begin.

    work : some people stopped speaking to me. I would say my promotion and managing other people career  pathways are over

    family : some accepted some didnt basically I think because I have the most qualifications in my family. Not the most pay !

     Notes : if the person you are tellng has experience of severe ( non-verbal /) autism I can understand their reaction eg "you dont look autistic "

    outcome : it is better now that i know the issue, the negatives from work and family I cant do anything about

    Yes as    says be very very careful. Release your diagnosis to only those who need to know and/or only those who can keep confidentiality
