| ADHD became a trendy way for parents to explain away their troublesome children (and a clever way for pharmaceutical companies to sell lots of incredibly addictive drugs to children). If AS becomes "trendy" then I am out. You heard me...Out. I will swap the label for "weird", like I gave a damn wha... |

| Mild aspies are indistinquishable from neurotypicals. Most likely to be thought of as shy etc. People with full blown Asperger's are much more obvious and noticeable. |

| One of the worst myths is that autistic people have no empathy!! ! They assume we are cold sociopathic unfeeling monsters, this is incorrect, insulting and dehumanizing!! ! |

| I too have a lot of compassion for those who had horrific upbringings Angel_ryan. It's understandable how some develop sociopathy, but there are many people who come from backgrounds of the worst kinds of abuse and they do not become sociopaths, in fact they become exceptionally amazing, kind people... |

Run like the wind from a sociopath/psychopath they bring NOTHING but trouble and will prey on any weakness. Very dangerous people even if not actually breaking the law or killing people, t... |

| I've noticed how many aspies are either extremely thin, classic ectomorphs or are BIG. I am one of the extremely thin ones, stick thin my entire life, went through my teens and never did fill out. I have long very thin arms and legs, tiny bony wrists, exceptionally pale skin, tiny head, big eyes and... |

| When the Cyclothymia is less extreme I've found I can generally live with the highs and lows. I know that in a few hours time or few days I will be feeling level or high again. Cyclothymia is part of my temperament too. In fact I only discovered Cyclothymia a year or so ago after it was suggested t... |

| For me, most of the time it doesn't cause me any problems, but occasionally (every few years) the mood swings become much more severe and unstable. This is the first time I've taken medication to try to help me because frankly without it I think there is a high probability I would take my own life.... |

| Yes, I've a diagnosis of this along with AS and several other things. Like some of the other so called "personality disorders" AvPD isn't a "disorder" at all, many people mistakenly think it is extreme social phobia but it isn't, extroverts can have social phobia but it isn't a part of their persona... |

However, I am trying to learn to just go with it and know that the hideous lows soon pass to the highs. It's not just a mood/bipolar disorder, for me at least, it is... |

| Often I don't feel ready - for example talking on the phone, I need to be having a good day, get ready with a cup of tea, nice tidy flat, prepare myself, but even then if I don't feel ready I can't manage. Doing anything like this requires planetary alignment and flying pork. Oh wow, this is me EXA... |
