Telling people or not...

I am very recently diagnosed. My partner is the only one who knows I am diagnosed. I wondered what people's thoughts and experiences of telling others, especially work mates. 

When I get stressed or work changes unexpectedly I find my behaviour gets worse. I feel increasingly uncomfortable with people. Don't look at their eyes and my fear instincys kick in and I want to run. i also have the habit of saying what I feel with my normal filtering turned off. Not wise as you can imagine

 My boss knows I am not good with people as I told him so in a round about way and he is supportive so maybe he knows but would it be a huge error telling him? What about HR?

I know I can be rude and blunt when suffering and lots of emotions around me make it worse and if people knew it might make it better but do I just risk discrimination and hope they just see me as the quiet one? But then that can be career limiting too.

thanks for any advice

  •  i told people i know and they have been no different and if they are that good of friends they will be supportive and undertsanding and just because u have autism doesnt make u any less capable of doing anything at work if u have the confidence to do so which it seems like u do
