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?

  • 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.
