To Know or Not to Know (or When to Know or Not Know)

Do you think your child should know at a very young age if they have ASD? Should they need to seek their truth on their own? Will the world change in time to create a safer place for the teased, bullied, and take advantage of students and adults in the future (hopefully near)? I'm seeking all perspectives, please.

I'd like to know too Emily. My boy has just been diagnosed at 9 with ADHD and HFA. I'm wondering how and when I broach the subject with him... would love to hear some thoughts.
