Try a different therapist perhaps...
I think if someone with AS has been able to adapt well to their AS--developed good coping strateries etc; then its not always easy for someone (even a professional) to tell.
How you react in a one to one session with a therapist is going to be different from how you'll react in a real life social situation.
Or you might not have AS...of course.
I tryed hard to become normal as a teenager and hide my nerdness in any way possible,
I never sucseed in that.
Now I have learned accepted that Im different,since I have friends who tolate me,and trough therapy.
But I still have hard times in social situations with a lot of NTs arround!
Thank you all for your support-
You have no clue how much it meens to me...!
Im pretty speachless at the moment,
I think I need some time to absorb all the impressions
wow.
Anyway,I not sure what a real cousin in here is.
I thought people with ADD automaticly cvallified for the cousin-categogory,but if it doesnt than perhaps one of theese deseases put me in:
Epilepsy,migrene,angsiety/depression,and possibly dyslexia(I use both sides of the brain eakvaly)
Thank you guys!
Almost everthing Ive read so far and my experiences
matches with AS and therefore I will folow your adwice!
But remember to tell me straight out if I say something that hurts one of you in here-because I usually have a hard time taking hints or read between the lines.
And by the way,I cant see anyone has written something self-righteous here
I made a mistake whan I wrote the last messege-I was going to quote someone and than I wrote the actual messege and so I forgot to quote...
How can i change/delete that post?
Did anyone get my S.O.S. sent 07=17-07, 05:01 ? If so could you send return to patshajes@adelphia.com c/o Shawn!
What was that all about?
*confused*
OK!
So I guess I wil only come in here when Im on my medication so that Im not too impulsive
Please, don't deprive us of impulsivity.
Imho, your description sounds pretty aspie to me. And all your co-occuring conditions are right in line. Approximately 1/3 of auties will have at least two seizures (and hence could qualify for dx of epilepsy) within their lifetime. At what age did your seizures begin?
Who is Imho?
If its me,than thank you for the anser!
My seizures begun at age 22.
hihi...know I get it
LOL
I gotta wait 44 sec to post this anwser...*sigh*
I tend to want to eat alot like today I wanted to go out to eat for lunch and get fastfood. As I was wanting to go out to eat today my brother was like telling me that I should'nt go out because I should consider watching my weight because he was like saying that I had a little fat on me. I did however agree with him on his statement and I should watch what I eat.
Is this related to your life AS or comorid-conditions??
I want to get my own avatar but that does not seem to work out for some reason.
User CP -> Profile -> Change Avatar -> Gallery
Does that work?
Not my personal one.
However i can choose between differnet ones the others might have taken befor me.
Maby I should just be without one:/

Is it because you put so much fokus into your spesial interest(if you have one)?I do that too sometimes
