I dont think we are ever going be able to find out the cause if we cannot find something that is able to cure or relieve the symptoms.Im not looking for a cure im looking for a cause but we are not going find that cause without a cure.So put stuff that has helped you on here(also put your indivual symptoms.)Thanks

well collecting and being house jelouse by myself has helped me

I found for meltdowns helped me lately, is weight on top of my head, I tried everything(especially everybodys wonderful advice they gave me) but, putting like pillows all over my body and head helped a whole lot. Didn't stop the meltdown but calmed me down big time.

Celexa.


Depression is the cause of a lot of my AS traits.

I think Omega 3/6/9 DOES help me. That fits too. When I was younger, I had LOTS of it. Today very little. Of course that really just helps the expression/benefits of AS, and not to reduce any symptoms/problems.

What's helped me? Accepting myself for who I am and giving myself permission to be myself and stop thinking I need a cause to understand things better and know that I don't need a cure because if I did, I doubt I'd be the same person after it.

I would concurr that a hearty dose of an omega supplement does me a world of good.
I am still me..but my meltdowns are alot less severe...also...l-theanine, rhodiola rosea, DHEA, and a few other supplemements...(i have been working with various combinations for years)
Self-acceptance is good too...inevitable really...


My mom exhibits alot of AS symptoms...but there are also symptoms of both high and low functioning spectrumy stuff on my dad's side of the family.

I am not officially diagnosed with AS, but I am diagnosed with ADD.

You asked us to list our individual symptoms?

My AS symptoms include lifelong difficulty bonding with others, including aversion to normal types of social involvement...a lifelong tendancy to "Not pick up" on social protocols, and just a general sense of "not belonging"
An extreme aversion to eye contact and/or physical contact from strangers
I have an odd gait...I walk on my toes alot of the time
somewhat narrow obsessions that i can't break away from and which i sort of think about in a rigid way.
an uncanny ability not to recognise people I have seen a dozen times
Sensitivity to smells, sounds, and certain types of light
a tendancy towards becoming overwhealmed having "meltdowns" in stressful situations....
A very hard time dealing with even low levels of stress
some tendancies in the past to exhibit both OCD and schitzotypal behavior
I am 32 and act like a teenager..don't drive a car(because of anxiety and spatial issues)..stuff like that....
um...

There are some AS symptoms that I don't seem to have though....

My ADD symptoms blend in seamlessly with my AS symptoms..in fact, for years I thought all my issues had to do with ADD...
These include
a hyperactive and impulse driven mind (physically I am not very hyperactive)
an extremely difficult time staying on task and/or completing tasks in a timely manner because I am constantly invaded by other thoughts....though i can also become hyperfocused on things so that I can't do anything else...(like right now I need to be getting ready for work but I am hyperfocused on the message board )

A very difficult time with executive dysfunction and DEPLORABLE organization skills


the list goes on.
