Is it best to keep quiet

 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.

  • Overall, it has been a positive experience with less than a handful of people. And I more-or-less completely gave up bothering at around four handfuls.

    Looking at that on the bright side, it heavily confirms that I am socially unacceptable to perhaps the majority of people I have encountered in 6 decades. They didn't really want to know, when I myself didn't know what it was; and now I do know, most of them certainly don't want any further enlightenment. The whole time they have felt justified in continually passing judgement on my conduct, but they seem determined to stop me doing the same for myself. Small wonder really that I have come to firmly believe that our current system has absolutely no room at all for any real notion of 'democracy'. 

    All alone as usual! Oh well, I have a long history of dealing with it! ;-) Always look on the bright side of life!
