| If you believe you may have another disorder, I recommend going to a doctor. You probably wouldn't even get an accurate answer from an internet forum if it was full of medical professionals (which WP is not). |

| Everyone can use a hug! :cheers: Remember, when you're at your very worst, things can only go up for you after that. It might take some time but you'll get there. Except if you're actually depressed, the depression doesn't just go away and actually gets worse throughout your life. Never mind me, I ... |

Well if you can provide some evidence for it I'd be interested. I'm genuinely curious, I'm not trying to challenge anyone. |

| Of course bullying shouldn't happen, that goes without saying. All I'm saying that Asperger's doesn't mean you'll certainly be bullied and not having Asperger's doesn't mean it certainly wouldn't happen. True. I'm curious, do you have any source for the claim that depression is common comorbid for ... |

| From what I've read, SSRIs can increase suicidal thoughts in certain people. If this happens you should probably go to your doctor and get different meds though. |

| (except those things that are illegal in real life, obviously - including simulated rape). Simulated rape isn't illegal in real life, but it is a grey area. The main problem is that it's impossible to ascertain consent 100%, so in reality unless you know the person extremely well, it's risky. We've... |

| I actually think it is kind of an important part of the story since many people with aspergers suffer from bullying...and co-morbids like depression and anxiety. So it does have its role regardless of how small that role is. I mean maybe if he didn't have AS he would not have been bullied....I am s... |

| Of course it isn't degrading, it's just another profession which serves to provide a product for which there is a demand. As for the whole BDSM debate that's started up, there's no reason that's degrading to any gender or person either. BDSM in porn (rather than as a lifestyle, because that's more o... |

| He was a HFA, not an Aspie. Same thing. Even so the points are valid whether or not his disorder caused him to do this alongside the abuse he recieved. I'm just making a general point about the media and their coverage of such stories. They always give autism or Asperger's a mention when someone wh... |

| Well I'd say it was both...that led to the suicide, not just one or the other. Sort of. Asperger's itself cannot lead to suicide, but it can lead to depression and that's what can cause suicide. But of course you could argue that he wouldn't have depression if it wasn't for the Asperger's. I meant ... |

It was most likely depression that killed him, not bullying. The bullies themselves seemed to use both as an excuse to target him though. Horrible f**king people.
Think we can find out personal details of these bullies? They could do with getting bullied a bit themselves. |
