| I can't say I agree that an ASD diagnosis itself is a reason that would prevent someone from driving. I'm able to handle many vehicles ranging from giant trucks, to cars, and even heavy equipment (tractors and earth movers) without issue. I even have a ZX10r sport bike which is capable of going 200 ... |

| There are quiet buttons on the fidget but there is also one like a light switch and OMG that's the best bit of the cube and it can be very annoying to people around me so it's an at home toy only. I have worry beads that I can slide along the string. People seem to assume I'm religious and no-one e... |

| I'm hoping at least someone in here can offer some input on this. I'm looking for a small device I can take with me to work, and preferably, conceal in my pocket easily. A lot of the time I will play with the pens I keep in my truck but whenever I get a pen in my hand it is immediately followed by c... |

| I have a hard time looking at people when talking too, what I discovered for me at least, is that I can fool most people into believing that I'm making eye contact by looking behind them over one of their ears and somewhat "looking through them". Works best for both parties involved that w... |

| My sleep schedual seems to naturally gravitate to being nocturnal. If there's nothing to motivate me to sleep at night like school or work or even friends I won't sleep at night, I like being awake at night, it's just nice. It could be related to ASD but I doubt it,my mother is nocturnal and always... |

| Tramadol acts as an opioid as well as an SNRI antidepressant so it makes sense that it helps both your pain and anxiety. Well, when you put it that way, it makes sense. I think I'll look at it as a positive side effect in that case since they are prescribed to manage the pain in my hand. Turns out ... |

| I feel somewhat conflicted on answering this because I have a similar outlook on life, I have no desire to die a slow death at the age of 80+. I currently ride a sport bike and have a car I race, I would definitely say I'm an adrenaline lover but I also feel conflicted on advising someone else on da... |

What seems to help is to stop looking for the perfect someone and work on making your self happy, successful, an... |

| I'm curious about something, Last year I was injured at work and prescribed a semi-synthetic opioid pain killer (Tramadol) for the injury, and I found a odd side effect while taking the pain killers. When I was working in the office on "light duty" I found it far easier to function in a so... |

| I also don't have any semblance of a "normal" sleep schedule either. Even when I was younger, I'd never been the normal 8 hour sleeper. My usual sleep is between 4-6 hours of sleep about 2 hours at a time. I will also take 30 minutes to a full hour to fall asleep. I have tried all sorts of... |
