| I was diagnosed through my Medical insurer Kaiser Permanante. I asked my doctor how to go about getting a diagnosis and she reffered me to the Behavioural therapy dept where a Specialist diagnosed me with HFA. I'm 37. |

| Women have babies, men and shopping on their minds most of the time. None of which interest me. Except maybe shopping at Flea Markets. |

| Any tips on keeping calm. I get stressed about being on time and I hate the lines and cramped conditions. I am travelling with my boyfriend and I don't want to stress him out. |

| Before I moved to Los Angeles from Scotland I was afraid of Sushi. I generally dislike cold food. I am not a sandwich fan. But I made myself eat it so I could share experiences with my friends. |

| Over the past 10 years I have only owned cats. I got a dog last year from the shelter and he means the world to me. It helps me get out of the house and socialize more. Dogs are like icebreakers. |
