The best way to apply this information is to understand that when people misperceive you or you misperceive people, leading to negative consequences, it's not because you're weird or evil or fatally flawed as a human being -- you're just autistic. It means that there are things about interacting with the world that seem to come preflashed into most people's firmware that you are going to have to learn and consciously apply.
As for whether you should tell anybody -- it's best to keep it on a need-to-know basis. Intimate partners and family members deserve to know. Coworkers probably not, strangers definitely not. Do your best to "pass". You WON'T always succeed. But you do not want to be G.B. Shaw's "unreasonable man". That way lies unnecessary hardship.
