should I tell my friends?

Post Reply New Topic

I've made a couple of friends recently and I was just wondering if I should tell them, "If at any time, I seem a little...weird, it's probably because of Asperger's"

if you feel that these might be lasting friends you can trust; it might be better to tell them then to keep it a secret.
although personally, i prefer to wait untill something comes up naturally; either a quirk shows itself, some tv show makes a mistake or the conversation reaches a point that provides a topic entry.
an example of the last one; some time ago, me and a new friend were discussing about why fraterneties usually have such harsh initiations; after stating that the assumed mindgame of "by pretenting you are not welcome; you'd want in even more" doesn't work on me, that sparked interest and provided the needed anxiety-free introduction to telling her.
