Doctors Don't Say

Post Reply New Topic

I have been very worried on how I have been feeling, is Aspergers actually an illness, or neurologically and body systems we are sensitive? I ask because at times I don't feel ''equipped'' for the ''NT Reality''. I can get anxiety attacks randomly, feel fatigued, confused, and or not on the same page as NT's Men. I can't ''push myself'' for very long periods, such as years ago I worked at Burger King, and between the pace and management screaming, I was getting IBS. I am trying to get my life together, talking with a woman at the moment, and see what happens. I don't know if we age quicker, at 39 I feel a lot older, from years of stress, anxiety and OCD.

It is frustrating, confusing, irritating, etc., to be stranded on a planet full of Allistics.

You have to sort of learn how to persevere through being surrounded by strange people (Allistics).

Learning how to protect yourself (physically and psychologically) is also helpful.

Medical doctors prescribe medicine to alleviate medical conditions. They might prescribe a pain reliever to someone who is too tall and keeps hitting his head on small doorways. However, they are not able to prescribe a medication to make someone shorter.

If Aspergers is a simple neurological variant resulting form a neurological configuration that is faster, more complex, or more sensitive, doctors might not be able to prescribe any useful medications.

This web site may be the best way to deal with the difficulties of Aspergers by asking others how they have dealt with specific issues and share things that have worked.
