I tell very few people about my diagnosis, not that I'm hiding it, but it isn't particularly a factor in most aspects of my life that pertain to the rest of the world.
My immediate supervisors and teachers I work closely with know as I've had to miss school on a couple of occasions over the years and they had to help out, but that wasn't a problem -- all very supportive and helpful. A very small group of personal friends know -- again very supportive and helpful. Closest family know, but not the whole extended family.
