Hi
I was wondering who do I tell about my autism? My family and some friends know but I am afraid to tell other friends as I feel I don't need to talk about it all time but I feel some people would understand me better if they knew. Especially because of some my behaviour such as repetition, masking and lack of patience, not being touched

I told my brother, and partner.
Nobody else needs to know iny opinion.
Instead, I tell people the things I struggle with in the relevant moment. I.e: I struggle with noise sensitivity so I'm going to wear these ear plugs, or, sorry I don't like busy places so am not comfortable being there...etc.
That way I convey my struggles without any stigma
