I was only diagnosed with Aspergers last year at the age of 39. Its no secret but I just havn't told many people. I don't really have many friends and even then I only see them infrequently. I see little of my family. I have told my work and am off sick as I am not coping there.
I was just wondering what other peoples thoughts and experiences were with regard to telling people about there diagnosis. If you tell someone then they mkisunderstand so you are responsible for giving them all the information. Thats seems hard. I just don't know how to go about telling people in a way they will understand. I suppose that to tell someone there has to be some benift or whats the point? Its definately not a secret though but I just don't want people to misunderstand.
How have other people dealt with telling people they already know or new people?
