Why people with SED suffer in silence

Most people with SED tend not to tell people about their condition/problem due to people's understanding. I go to great lengths to avoid people finding out, as I fear isolation and people's reactions. It's really hard to keep coming up with excuses, but that always seems to be a lot easier than explaining the problem to people properly.


You only need to look at shows like Freaky Eaters to see the language they use, to describe the show and the programmes I'm not sure if its a lack of understanding or a deliberate attempt but it can cause problems by labelling people without necessarily helping. Like many things there's big pros and cons to both telling and shows like Freaky Eaters.
