    Psychiatry (anti)

    Hey Beautiful people, I would like to keep this straight to the point, here's the thing I whole heartedly despise psychiatrists, they have never added value to me in my life, in fact my life improved exponentially when I got myself off the horrible meds that were prescribed and found a...

    Ready to have a nervous breakdown / End of University depression.

    Tuesday will be my last exam of my time at University and will ultimately be the beginning of the end for my education. University has been a nightmare for me, as I am sure many of you know from my posts. What I can’t deal with is the depression that I am having at the moment in struggling to...

    Non-Attachment

    For years I've been experimenting with different religious/spiritual concepts in an attempt to free myself of the constant anxiety and ennui that has pervaded my life. For a while I experimented with mindfulness/yoga/buddhist meditation and the concept of non-attachment. As the theory goes, all...

    Eye Movement.

    Regression with age (Does autism get worse?)

    @the_tortoise thread poll lead me to think about this, which I've thought about quite often. I didn't want to change the subject so I've created a new thread on regression. I sometimes have felt like I'm regressing in autism traits. As a child I had difficulty talking - didn't learn to...

    Does giftedness often co-occur with Aspergers?

    Hi, I’m just wondering if giftedness has any co-occurring relationship with Aspergers? I know a few gifted people with AS/HFA, so would there be any connection? I’m level 5 gifted (search if you don’t know), and have close to all Aspergers traits ( extremely likely Aspergers ) and thought that...

    MBTI (Meyers Briggs Personality)

    I kind of have this hypothesis going that auties are most likely to come up as INT- or INF- on a Meyers-Briggs assessment... I thought it might be kind of fun to find out if there's any truth to that! So, if you don't already know your MBTI personality type, you can take a free quiz on it...

    Parents don't accept aspergers or any other condition

    My parents don't think that I have aspergers. Their reasons are: - Im 'just gifted' - All of my aspie traits are just 'gifted quirks' - A label will hinder you (I agree with this one) - Everyone struggles socially to an extent - My dad is likely an undiagnosed aspie who also has the traits. He...

    I'm new- do I have Aspergers?

    - I’m extremely shy and socially awkward, I don’t get social cues that everyone else just ‘gets’, like sarcasm and figurative phrases. - At least 3 times a day (I’m not exaggerating) people tell me “I was being sarcastic”. It drives me crazy that I can never seem to get it. - I am brutally...

    a shy hi from Garden Grove

I personally don't have many people that...

    Question regarding learning disability and aspergers

    My question is too long to put in the title so this is my question: Is it possible to be diagnosed with Asperger and ADHD when young in 4th grade. But have a undiagnosed learning disability that has gone unnoticed? I'm a 21 year old female, in college, and noticed since I started college how...

    Chained to Life.

    The one thing i have never liked about myself is my anger, it's insane. I get frustrated really fast, it takes me every fiber of my being to slow it down. Sometimes it comes over from not understanding what's happening, it can come off from social groups. It can come off from myself, as i am...
