| I was prescribed omeprazole. I don't suffer with acid reflux any more now since losing a lot of weight. |

| It's something I've had to get used to. Fortunately the weather was okay so I could go for a walk...I find this helps me cope with my circumstances. I exchanged a few pleasantries with people on the way...any bit of human contact is always appreciated. http://peakwalking.blogspot.co.uk/2017/12/a-chr... |

| I was diagnosed when I was 47 and found the whole process to be positive. Unfortunately I've not received the support that I need since then, and was stated in my diagnostic report. |

| Everyone might be a little bit autistic, or have a few autistic traits, but it doesn't cause them any problems. Some of us with autism are totally excluded from society...and that is a major problem for us. |

| Hello Raspberry. I was diagnosed at Sheffield six years ago and found the whole process to be very positive. It started with me filling in a long questionnaire a week or so before my appointment, then a half day assessment, resulting in a twenty page diagnostic report and then a follow-up discussion... |

| I'm not a golfer, I'm a walker. I walk at least once a week in the countryside and sometimes I get quite severe golfer's vasculitis. It's not really a problem, it can look a bit shocking at times but it's only cosmetic. I don't think it's anything to do with my Asperger's syndrome but I'm wondering ... |

| I doubt there are many women with autism who are as socially isolated as I am...and many other men I know. A woman with autism is still attractive to men, maybe even more so if she's got Asperger's and isn't ruled by her emotions...however, men with autism have very little success with women. Modera... |

| I think that Trump may well have a point. Certainly here in the UK the media lies a lot, often very subtly with the type of language used. It's very different to counter their arguments when the truth is suppressed or deliberately hidden. |

| Theatre of the Oppressed isn't theatre in the sense of drama though; it's more of a philosophy and way of life, different ways of thinking, understanding and behaving. |

In particular I think it has the potential to be very useful for working out appropriate social responses, covering areas such... |

| I believe that the techniques used in Theatre of the Oppressed are as close to therapy as we're able to get for people with autism. I'm hoping to be volunteering in this area soon and am wondering about if anyone else has any opinions or relevant experience. |
