'Coming out' after being diagnosed

Don't be talked out of disclosing your diagnosis because of fear mongering. There are many benefits to disclosing but I won't repeat them because Trainspotter has said it all. Telling the "office" gossip is a brilliant idea. You could tell someone you are comfortable with and let them know you don't mind other people knowing - it will soon make the rounds. In a more professional capacity, you should inform HR and your direct line manager. 

It's not fear mongering when there's actual data that supports the fact that employers do things like actively bin CVs that mention autism and the rates of autistic people in employment are in the toilet. The fact that every autistic person I know (and I was diagnosed in childhood, not 5 minutes ago so I've been dragged to loads of stuff) is underemployed based on skills and qualifications. 

Discrimination is real. 

A different scenario as we are talking about somebody already in employment. 

Your choosing to interpreting it as nasty, they are being kind by informing them of the most likely outcome from their own experiences.  

Plastic & cookiemum1986 has given more useful advice on this community page and more encouragement than most professional who job it is to educate and inform people about autism.
