Confused Keep disabilities a secret?

I was reading a Dear Abbey article that i'll include in this message about a father keeping his child's Autism a secret from other family members. I personally have never kept my son's Autism a secret from anyone and if people say things to/about him I try to educate them. As for my MS, I told everyone in school about it and when I had muscle spasms and thought I was having a stroke, my friends were concerned but called 911.

I always wonder if/when I start to date again when I should tell the person or just telling people in general about my MS. I know everyone is different but I was wondering.. do you keep your MS a secret.. and yes I know some have physical aspects which might be harder to hide than mine which is invisible to the outside eye. I just thought it was interesting.. there are times I don't think about the MS but other times.. it's all too evident *sigh*.
