I am afraid that if I let everyone know that I actually suffer from a "neuropsychological condition," I will be stigmatized even more.
Ideally, their understanding of my condition would improve the type of treatment I receive from them and the way I interact with them, but I also realize that there are many ignorant people out there (that includes some of my friends and family members) who will be weirded out once they start believing I am "officially crazy."
I want advice from Aspergians who have "come out of the closet" regarding their condition. Did revealing that you have AS make your life easier, harder or the same? How did the treatment you received from NTs change after the revelation?
not aspergan,but can recommend a few things.
do not use words like suffering,suffer,pyschological,mental etc.
unless truly believe are exclusively suffering from aspergers [rather than the blame being on other people who don't adapt or accept differences],then don't use it because it will make ignorance worse,it makes it look like an illness as they are widely used 'illness' words,different if it's with people who know AS but with people who don't they might assume it's like cancer or aids.
