I remember when I was first diagnosed. Was going to high school. People looked at me differently when they heard the news. Close friends looked at me strangely only for a little while and quickly got over it. Acquaintances would always ask if I could do this or that and seemed uncomfortable around me.(Especially when food was involved)
At the time it felt extremely annoying but these people cared about my well being.
Don't notice it now. Perhaps more in tune to what people thought as a teenager. Or these "looks" were imagined.
Over the years I have learned that it is much better that somone knows about your condition than if they don't know. Even when their knowing could create some awkwardness.
