I have been working as a playgroup assistant for 1 and a half years and never told them I have aspergers. I am scared it may put doubts into their heads as to my capabilities. Sometimes I feel different to everyone else and am slow at thinking. I thought if I told them my problem, they may understand me a bit more. On the other hand it may not. What do you think I should do?

im big into money handling and buissness and i would say it is a bad choice to tell employers about these things. i would be afraid of exploitation if i had a contract with anyone i think they might use the knowlege of my aspergers to turn contracts against me.
