My friends are... no one. I don't have friends, so I am not afraid of losing them if I told people I had AS.
But the thing is... I have no friends! So why should students in my class know? I barely interact with anybody at school in the brakes. Why would anyone need to know if they don't meet that as a problem?
Also, people don't really like me already and I wonder if I told I had AS it would only make things worse. They have had some suspicions about me, thinking I am vigrid(nazi) or something. Telling I have AS could maybe rid off some suspicions, but it could also create more.
Maybe they just don't know me.
I think I've got the tags:
Bullyvictim (even though that was mainly in primary)
think he is so great(cuz I am active orally in lessons)
sometimes hemis(retard) (because I had "fritidsproblemer"(literally means bad consumption of recess) and was actually considered childish for some of my stim-like behaviors)
Sometimes nazi (possibly because of my drawings which could look like nazi propoganda posters, supporting a conservative/liberal political group(which I currently don't)) and becaused I pissed off a certain girl who were especially "against" nazis at some point (by saying "Oh, well then we know that" when she wrote "I love Alexander" at her schoolfolder)
Another reason why people thought I was nazi was because the class saw a movie once called "the Wave". Where a teacher experiments with the way Hitler became a leader, one of his most loyal students was a quite aspie like unsuccessful boy without friends. It was later concluded in the class that people who don't fit elsewhere are more loyal to leaderships like that.
Just a neutral thought, Hitlers technique could be used to something positive in aspie communities.
People seemed to know about my adhd without me telling them :p
I don't have anyone to come out with, nah. Don't even know any nearby aspies,
Remember that I am off. dxed.
I "came out" at work recently, where I incorporated it into a presentation whose major focus was career development--I was supposed to be telling my personal story, and my aspie traits are part of that story--they allowed me intense focus--and I threw in an aside about not recognizing people and having to learn social skills intellectually, because they had not come intuitively. Anyways, people seemed more struck by the fact that I admitted to having failed at various things. I suspect that most people might not have known what Asperger's meant--although a couple of weeks before my talk, James Watson (of DNA fame) had given a talk, and in it, he surmised that Rosalind Franklin had had Asperger's which, to him, explained why she couldn't talk to people. One guy did tell me he was sorry I had this disease, so I set him straight--otherwise, not a single comment about it specificially, although several people told me how much they liked the talk because it was so honest.
My mother used to scream at me when I wouldn't go with her to do things on summer vacation:
"What do you want me to let you become a hermit!!!"
Its hard to explain emotion while typing, but you get the point.
My only saving sanity grace was that of a NES. Ahhh, sweet, sweet Super Mario Bros.
I used to wonder why it was easier to type things out than to actually "talk" to someone in person.
Your mum should have let you be on your own if that is what made you happy. Not everybody wants to do a lot of social activities and it doesn't make them lesser people.
I find it so much easier to type than say things face to face.
Much as I'd have preferred to have been seem as a person without disability, it became obvious a few years ago that I needed a few accommodations within the workplace and the only way that the employer would even consider them is if I had an official diagnosis of some kind of disability.
I doubt there would have been much point in having a diagnosis whilst I was in school as I generally coped reasonably well and was simply considered "shy" and little bit "odd". The social difficulties such as initiating conversations, not always knowing the appropriate thing to say, and being scared of using the phone, only became really obvious once I left home at 18.
Others would benefit from an earlier diagnosis and their condition might need disclosure if they are in need of any kind of concessions within the school, work or home environment or for they or their parents to receive social security benefits or assistance. Not everyone feels they need assistance and if they cope fine as a "NT", then they should not feel pressured to disclose their condition.

The word "yes" springs to mind. 
I was bullied so they might go and tell everybody, however that would just make them look pretty bad.
My bullies apparently didn't care how stupid they seemed.
The thing that has mainly prevented me from interacting is that I don't like the thought of it. I have no interest in having friends.
Well, if you don't want to have friends that's a perfectly valid choice. I don't think the advice from soTMH is the best thing to follow.

And how would you know exactly? You're a bit presumptuous don't you think?
Because it's not in all of our natures to want to socialise a lot. Not all Aspies want to get married. I don't think I'm presumptuous here, just realistic.
Whatever.
I am definitely not going to tell my aspieness in a big holy decleration to the whole of my class simultaneosly, it could be more of a short comment and not make any fuss of it. Just acting like it is totally normal thing.
Whatever.
*hope to someday find someone who is as "miserable" as he is*
The way I have been doing it or have done it, is I spent about three days doing a writeup and adding information (its here actually) about Autism and AS etc. but don't mention that I have it...at first. I challenge the way the reader would think about it or inform them about the different types and explain. Than I finally say I have it and explain why so that they didn't have a prejudiced opinion beforehand. This has worked. Over the phone to my Uncle it took 45 minutes to explain and I answered all of his questions. After it has been explained, they understand. I haven't directly told people, the article is on my Facebook, and I have made no mention of it in any other writeups either. I am very supportive of autistics and autism rights and so I would answer and explain anything asked (if I knew the answer).
Sounds like a very great way of doing it.
I would never have thought of that!
