Newly diagnosed, who do I tell

I’ve just found out today I’m autistic,

I’m a 40 year old male and I don’t know who to tell other than my wife and children. 
do I keep this to myself or let the world know

  • Congrats on being diagnosed. My advice would be don't rush in to telling people, give yourself time first to process and accept your diagnosis and let it all sink in. It's a big thing to go through and rushing it and telling people might be overwhelming so if it was me I'd give myself a bit of time first. 

    Whatever you decide on doing though I wish you luck Relaxed
