My Autism Story from severe to very mild Autism (My Life)

Post Reply New Topic

I'm Kinda very Smart Person with the IQ Level was scored around 108 - 125
Which i am trying to recover from Autism so I can go to Australia to live and I will hide my Diagnosis.
I'm trying to burst the Autistic Bubble (Smashing the Berlin Wall). I know they smashed the Berlin Wall in 1989. But i named it as an expression.

I wouldn't get too hung up on IQ. If you grow up in a household with more books and people with higher vocabulary, you score better on those parts of the test if it is the typical Stanford Binet. All IQ test have their biases. Do not let that hold you back. I say that for those who feel the need to post IQ. My sister once said to me, and it is true...most of these people at this school aren't smarter, they just had parents who knew the value of a good education. They sit a person with certain quirks and sensory issues down and expect them to take the test like neurotypicals. Just as in medicine, tests have specificity and sensitivity, a study population with a limited set of characteristics, and a bias if not double blind placebo controlled.

Well personally I don't think you can develop AS, yes you can appear for the first couple of years to be devolving normally but I still think your born with it. Also I believe their is no way to truly become NT but we still have to ability if we try hard enough to do some but not all of the things they do, personalty I try to believe more Neurological Equality because where all Humans.

In your case however Its great that you have made big progress, but sadly their is no way to be NT you can get close but not actually be, but remember your Human as is everybody with AS or any other mental/physical disability and in the essence where all the same.

hows the zoloft going? how long did ur side effects last? im getting that prescribed friday

Actually, I am no longer on Zoloft, I was put on Prozac (Fluoxetine) and I almost fainted and cause me to get hell symptoms, (Gastrointestinal Pains, Bloating, Heavy feelings in the chest, chest pains, Phantosmia (Found out it was Sinusitis), Fatigue, Depersonalization, Back Pains, Severe Panic Attacks, Severe Anxiety, Near-Syncope, Lightheadedness, dizziness, and Sleep Disturbance) but then I was switched to a Benzodiazepine drug, (Klonopin), and my symptoms were vanished forever, it was a miracle drug.

For Zoloft, the Most Common Side Effect is, Nausea, Dry Mouth, Heartburn, Insomnia, Sleepiness, and Diarrhea. But Diarrhea you have to watch for if you are going to pass gas, the Diarrhea is very mild and happens on a High Dose (75mg and over). But Be careful being on SSRI's. If you get sick from it, then try Benzos. but do not get off from it.

Sounds a little like me, except it seems you have the opposite of regressive autism or something.

Actually in the Past 2 years, I thought I had it, but it turns out I don't, I have a Adaptive form of Autism, and Very High Functioning, and I can hold jobs Socialize, Enjoy Activities, and Live Independently.

Hi nice to meet you, ok I have a question, for me I was just delayed in communication I didn't loose it. Growing up I thought with my senses as I got older I became more and more verbal with lots of therapies. But as I became more verbal I became more depressed. And began to feel a lot more detached and made certain areas of functioning harder here are my questions


One

Did you think with your senses too?


And 2

Has being verbal caused you to feel more detached or loose other abilities you had?


I have a long blog post about it if you want it let me Kniw

I was using my senses, but I never lose my abilities, ever, and I wasn't depressed over it.

My daughter had elevated responses to stimuli from birth but is considered to have regressed because she made eye contact, smiled, laughed and started speaking on time. Then at 2 she went into her own world. She spoke gibberish and stopped making eye contact.

Well She would make up her own choice when she gets older, she may want to get out for a reason, or wants to stay in her own world. To me, I chose to get out because of self-esteem issues. Now I have High Self Esteem after self-treating with a webcam/mirror.

Aquais, I read your story and follow ups and think its great that you are sharing your story with others to help people. I just wanted to let you know that.

thanks.

first of all you can't develop autism even before you notice you have autism you still have autism, your not neurotypical cause your going to develop autism..

When growing up and then tested real late in life wondered how did I wind autistic?Then after much studying found out had it all my life.
