When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know.
Autism Speaks will NEVER speak for me

It is not guaranteed your parents will understand you, or even take you serious. Mind that some (or maybe most)
Aspergers have a difficult finding the right words and expressing themselves.
I can tell this from my own experience. It depends on what kind of people your parents are
and how well you can explain yourself to them.
My parents have always put themselves first and me and my brothers second. Although loving
trying to do what they thought was best, they generally were rigid and autoritorian.
This is my personal experience.
Writing down what you want to say to them first, maybe better than just starting a conversation. So
if you are going to talk, prepare what you want to say beforehand.

Sensory integration issues go pretty deep. It's not pathology (there's nothing wrong with you), and it might very well get better with time, but I wouldn't be afraid of your parents. I agree with Age1600, if you've got em, you have to deal with em, and a little help from your parents might go a long way.
Problem is, people without those issues don't understand why it could be a problem. And it's not a lack of sympathy, it's that it doesn't bother them, and they don't see why it should bother you. People are like that. Doesn't mean you shouldn't explain it to them. I find it hard to believe that parents would be insensitive to it, but then again, stranger things have happened.
Fear, however, never got anyone anywhere.
Good luck.
