Statistics of percentages of rejection after disclosure

[thegreatestgood]

I have found one thing that has quelled my worries over future disclosure to a potential partner. It is a scientific journal that displays the percentages of rejection faced by people who have disclosed. Surprisingly, the percentages were rather low, and most of the time, peoples expectations of rejections were remarkably higher than the actual rejection they faced.

*see page 87 for the chart showing rejection percentages

 

It also includes stats and discussion over when is the best time to disclose. Hope this helps someone.
