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'm getting ready
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?
I'm a bit confused by your tenses?.....Have you performed it.....or are you going to perform it?

What type of class do you have? Is is children...if so, what age?
I'm in a high school class. I have already performed it.
Thank you!
OK then. That is now more clear.
I would imagine that the half of your class that have English for 7th or 8th hour, would probably be a good analogue/indicator as to how the other half of your class will react in relation to your poem.
I'm English so evidently have some retardation in relation to understanding your schooling protocols and arrangements.
I wish you well with your exploits and hope it works out for you, however so you had originally aspired.
I guess what I really mean is what about the other half of the class? I only performed to the half that has English for 7th or 8th hour, not the half that has English for 4th or 5th hour.
Well, on the basis that you performed it to them about a month ago, and you don't mention anything about their reaction to it yet, then I assume that they are not particularly going to make a fuss about it, one way or the other?
What type of advice are you hoping to receive from here, and regarding what? Forgive me, I remain very unclear on this matter.
I'm a senior.
