Well, I can see that. On the other hand, I feel like there has kind of been an increase in sensitivity already towards those with difficulties, even just emotional struggles from the thread I already started for instance. Sure, there will be jerks, but I think others would come to their defense. I guess there would have to be the understanding that some jerks might bully, but if you want to seek support, you may choose to divulge your struggles.

Yeah I am careful with what information I give out but I have found I do have an easier time getting along with people when I explain that I am autistic and how my brain works. At first when I found out about it I spent a few years trying to hide it, but now I don't care who knows.

I don't go out of my way to tell people but if it comes up naturally then I have no problem with telling people.
