I've been in this awkward place in class a few times lately where someone's like "Matt, wat the hell is an aspie?" and I'm thinking "I want to tell you but I don't want to tell the teacher so they don't bother me asking if I need special help with everything.". So I say "I'll tell you later." and they think I'm keeping it a secret. I'm just starting to have autistic pride when I used to wish I never got the stupid diagnosis so I'm not too wise yet on how or when to tell people about it.
P.S. Irada, that last sentence...what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I don't like it, but I still have prideXD

| Only a couple of the teachers at my school know that I'm an Aspie (Head of English, one other English teacher and the school psych). As for telling people that your an Aspie, I generally don't go round shouting it out, but if someone asks me I will answer truthfully. Depression kills anyone's Autistic Pride. |

A couple do, but by the time I was diagnosed, I had been mainstreamed so long that I did not feel the need to broadcast it.

hopefully none...unless they overheard me telling someone I had it. But it'd pretty easy to spot sometimes...especially when you have teachers with kids who have AS

I think some teachers have suspected that I have it but I don't really now, which I think is worse than knowing that they know...or not.

I told my school when i was re-enrolling for next year. The head of the year said that she would pass it on to my teachers so they can go through things with me, so I don't have to ask for help, because I won't and then I'll fall behind.
I think of it as something positive and I hope that it will help me learn more in class.
I also hope that the teachers do it tactfully so I don't stand out like a sore thumb (more than I already feel that I do) |

I wasnt diagnosed until I was 18 so none of my teachers all throughout high school knew, only my highschool dean knew like the last semester of senior year. I simply just did all my work and never acted up, in middle school and highschool the teachers stopped bothering my parents that there was something wrong with me simply because i got good grades and behaved thats all they wanted.
When I got to college, I had all sorts of trouble with the school work, and all my learning difficulties spilled out. So some of them know, some dont. I'll tell em if I need to. |

Yes, and its a pain in the ass. They give me the notes for the class, because they seem to think I'm incapable of writing notes, this leads to other people to believe the same. I don't like being picked on and react by snapping back. Being diagnosed AS I am automatically blamed for the incident when I overreact and go over the top with my insults. I hate being falsely blamed and punished for things because of a diagnosis.

The head teachers, deputy and principal do. I'm not sure about everyone else.
They kind of need to really, because I can only work properly if I'm stuck with the right teacher. I can't stand being yelled at, and so if a teacher yells at me I tend to yell back. |

some do, but that's because it's on our personal records on the teachers computers so they know all sorts about you.
I wish they didn't know because they treat me like an idiot and keep letting me get away with stuff which isn't good because it's not fair on everyone else.

Well I am cyber schooled this year but none of my teachers know. My instructional supervisor knows only cause he helped get a iep set up. I just got my diagnosis of PDD this summer so. Although I am sure my teachers will know next year due to a couple accommodations.

| Ya, they all know. If they didn't, I'd fall behind 'cause I never really ask questions. A lot of my friends also know. |
