I feel the need to tell people i talk to i have aspergers & depression

Basicly, I feel the need to tell NEW people i talk to i have aspergers and depression in hopes that they will watch their words and not do/say something that will "trigger" me / say something i have problems understanding if he was serious or not, like a sarcastic joke,
I get anxious very easily, Even if its a somebody i got to have conversation in a CS Match i feel the need to say this.
I think about things alot more than the average guy, even if its a meal im having i might just randomly start crying because it has meat in it and i feel bad for the animal that had to suffer through the process that it had to go through just so it could become part of some guy's meal.
Recently i was called an "attenttion whore" and ever since that i have been thinking if im doing something wrong and if i really have become an attenttion whore without realising.
Maybe even this is me being an attenttion whore, i dont really know anymore

    It should be up to you to be able to control your outburst, anger, depression, etc. all the above. Otherwise you will end up spending all day trying to explain things to some people who, in reality, and not to hurt your feelings, but they probably could give a shit less about you and your meducal ordeals. Besides, the more you can control your anger etc, will give you that much more experience and knowledge about yourself and what triggers your mood swings. I know a guy with asbergers, the way he goes about doing things at times drives me crazy.

    You are called an attention whore because you tell people about your condition? If it bothers you, then tell them after the fact if they trigger your Asperges.

    I thought I should go around telling people I watch porn and imagine them naked giving me a blow job.

    In this Facebook society everyone wants to tell their business.

    I can see it being normal when you're FIRST diagnosed and a little shocked and confused about it.

    Seems like unnecessary information for others to have to deal with. Your issues are yours and no one elses.

    idk dude it sounds kinda stupid tbh, i mean i have aspergers but the only people who know are my family (obviously since they were the ones that took me in to be diagnosed as a kid) or friends during school that maybe saw the class attendance that the teacher might of accidentally opened in front of all the class and where it lists if the student is "special", which then they would ask what i had and after telling them they might ask a few questions then get on with the day.

    sometimes i am like you though and can sometimes get overly emotional on something particular where i'd tell them i'm not comfortable in whatever that person is saying/doing but it's never been so bad i have to tell them i have aspergers.

    maybe only bring your aspergers up if something is really upsetting you or someone brings a topic up related to aspergers.
