| So far: Prozac Wellbutrin Zoloft Valium I'm on the last 2 now, zoloft is a low dose and I take the valium as needed. I hope to be off of them eventually as I'm being treated for Lyme Disease and the anxiety/depression symptoms came at the same time as my fatigue, so my doctor thinks they are related... |

| I would actually go so far as to get tested to see if you have any food intolerances that could be making you sick. I feel so much better since I've stopped eating yeast and dairy. Soy and gluten are really common for people as well. But as always, watch your diet, eat only nutritious foods, and dri... |

| Thank you guys for the kind words :) I think things are finally going to get better for me. I had much more energy today than i've been used to. I've mainly had to deal with inexplicable fatigue and my brain feeling foggy, but I've had really bad anxiety and depression-like symptoms since I was infe... |

I feel like people get irritated with me very easily. Does anyone have any suggestions for helping with stuttering and pause... |

| I think a lot of modern music is actually very good, you just need to know where to look for it. Plus, nothing's completely original anyway. I just choose to ignore all the crap, haha. Here are a few to try on: Fleet Foxes. Noisettes. Asteroids Galaxy Tour. The Bird and the Bee. Cold War Kids. The D... |

| I had a pair of fleece lined overalls when I was a kid. I honestly wish I never outgrew them. Best thing ever. I'm afraid I can't be of much help, as I wear leggings and a camisole underneath everything. A lot of athletic companies have pants designed for being outdoors, though. I'm sure there are s... |

| The chart describes me accurately except for the shopping bit. I love shopping, and will go shopping with friends. I do think it is a special interest though, at least in my case. |

| dude, she doesn't really have asperger's. it's more spoiled brat syndrome where she uses whatever excuses she can to get her way. totally not a serious character. if they had a character who actually HAD asperger's i'm sure it would be handled completely differently. besides, i'm sure a real aspie w... |

| scientifically, it's seen as a developmental disorder. however, i personally think it is a personality type, as many people who have it do very well and are able to use their aspie traits to their advantage. |

| I love wearing fitted clothing. love the constricting feeling. I wear leggings and a camisole under everything- also for warmth, because it gets really cold where I live. At times I feel like I'm living in the 17th century because I wear so many layers- even when it's warm. It's kind of ridiculous h... |

I would never have admitted but I somehow went from being (embarrassingly so) a self-shaming secret aspie to wanting to integrate myself within the Autism community. I don't know what changed... I think the grade school bullying made me ashamed of... |

I dress uniquely but fashionably- lots of odd items but I somehow make it look acceptable. Underneath my fashionable exterior lies a nerd who loves Super Mario and Shin Chan. I can social... |
