My best friend acted weird. Most days she forgets and is fine. But if there is conflict she always drags out the aspergers. Like I'm nuts and she is fine so everything is my fault.
Worst is volunteering. I had to tell once because if I was sent there through the autism team I would have work insurance, otherwise not. Once out there I was not allowed doing any important tasks anymore. It was like they thought I was a danger or would screw up completely. Being treated like that was quite bad even if they weren't mean about it.
I haven't told others but my friend tells everyone because she doesn't understand it is a thing you don't go round spreading. So far I haven't had any negative comments from her friends that she told.
If I was to tell family they would totally deny deny deny.
