| There are two I can think of, both so black I couldn't say which was worse. 1) When I was about 9, my biggest, most crippling phobia became my obsession. You can only guess what that led to... 2) At the beginning of this year, when I went on the contraceptive pill. It led to months of the blackest d... |

Or worse.
Normally I'd be around an 8. |

| I've got pretty much everything too, it's awful. Aside from the aching, my head feels like it's going to implode, I'm so hot and my temperature just will not go down, then I'll start shivering with cold even though I'm roasting up. My nose is running and it's moving into my ears, I have an awful cou... |

| I've been down with the flu for the last 4 days, and it's awful. Do any of you find it really hard to deal with illness like that? I've never had this before, and I just feel like my body's going into overdrive somehow. Light hurts, sound hurts, breathing hurts, moving hurts... thinking hurts!! I ca... |

How's that for a nice mix?  |

| Not a problem. :) If it helps, I moved to the other side of the world on my own without any plans on my 19th birthday... a big step for anyone, let alone someone with AS!! We can do anything we put our minds to - AS doesn't have to be scary and it doesn't have to be a negative thing at all, and don'... |

I thought I was 5'2 until the other day when my boyfriend decided to measure me... lo and behold, I was 5'3!! That extra inch made me so happy I danced.
My younger brother is over 6' tall now... |

| I've got 2 younger brothers, one 19 (I'm 20) and one 7. We all get on really well, they're two of my closest buddies, love them to bits. The 19 year old is borderline AS... not enough to be called that but he certainly displays more of the traits than your average NT... and the 7 year old has select... |

| Hi JustMom! Aside from the brilliant advice given, I'd say... Martial Arts are awesome. I did karate from age 6 and it helped massively with my co-ordination and balance. I still did it a little strangely (I'm very pigeon toed!) and my flexibility didn't improve much, but the discipline, routine, ex... |

| I'm a bit of a strange one in that I'm both very AS, and very NT as well... both facets of my personality interact and combine to make the 'whole' me, if that makes sense (maybe it's the ibuprofen talking... damn flu). I've never had problems in making friends, I just find it fairly hard to keep the... |

| I've been having problems for the last 4 months or so, which I've put down to IBS or similar due to the contraceptive pill messing my system up (have since stopped taking it) and not been to a doctor about. I hate doctors. I never realised there was an AS link though - perhaps I shall go, and let th... |

| Hi everyone :) Where to start... I'm 20, from New Zealand but live in England, and I have AS. I was never 'properly' diagnosed, though my mother is an advisor to schools on Autism/AS so never really thought a 'proper' diagnosis was necessary, as it was so glaringly obvious it was I! Anyway, nobody a... |
