I'm not moaning, honestly! But I have just had the experience of my aspie blog reaching what I think of as the final corner of my life. I went public with my aspergers online, to strangers, friends, old school friends, vaguely related people and any relations already online.
This was enough to cause some sleepless nights in itself as your privacy no longer exists! But I never made it known to existing clients in my work as a private tutor, mainly because as I rely on my self-employed income to survive and they have to trust me with their children's private education. (I have told a couple of ex clients, who were very supportive and interested).
I've just taken a new client on this week whose older daughter found me online via my 'other stuff'. I'm assuming this other stuff is the aspie blog. She's not mentioned it and has still rung me for lessons, but it makes me wonder if this is the stage where anyone who finds me online, as a tutor, will also be almost bound to find the aspie blog too?
It might seem like a small thing, compared to everyone else knowing, but it's significant to me as it means complete strangers who expect to pay me for lessons will know absolutely loads about me, if they read it, then have to meet me as a professional who teaches their children.
I know I'm stressing, it threw me though!!
