Poetry Cafe- Telling my class about my autism

We had a Poetry Cafe for the whole grade about a month ago. Everyone said 2-3 poems and ate food. One of the poems that I performed was Telling You, by me. 

I am autistic

And I'm very proud of it

But it's a secret

I am autistic

And I'm very proud of it

I'm getting ready

I am autistic 

And I'm very proud of it

I'm done hiding it.

How do you think that my class will react? Will they be quiet about it and pretend it doesn't exist, or will they go crazy over it and bombard me with questions? Any advice?
