The initial freedom you feel, by being open and honest, can be very short lived. Refrain from sharing this information with everyone within earshot. Realize that the average person has never knowingly associated with a person who has a disability. Think of how awkward you feel around someone in a wheelchair. Going beyond these visible disabilities, think of the many hidden disabilities like cancer, AIDS, and mental illness.
Disabilities related to the mind truly frighten people.
We all have witnessed the evening news broadcasts describing the disgruntled employee who shot up the office, killing and seriously injuring co-workers, destroying families, and planting a seed of distrust in society toward illness of the mind. Your employer and co-workers are NOT going to be comfortable with you for a while. YOU must reduce this fear by being very specific as to how your disability affects your work. At this point you know all about your disability and have the desire to educate the world. Don't advertise your private interests at work.
