Absolutely not. You shouldn't shape your identity on it, either. Imagine meeting someone and the first thing they tell you is: "I have cancer", or "I'm diabetic". What do you think the response to "I'm autistic" is going to be?
Just live your life and be yourself. You can share this information when you get close to people. By then, the response, surely, is going to be "I figured".

I didn't intend to put it quite like this, though I'm not sure how I would work it into the conversation. I just thought awareness in general might be beneficial early on to help in the moments where my behavior might seem odd and be easily misinterpreted as something negative or antisocial.
