| OK, I'm very new here. In fact, I only figured out I am highly likely to have Aspergers about 2 weeks ago. I'm 45 years old and while I knew there were a lot of things that were very difficult for me, the fact that I otherwise had a very normal life, I never even considered the possibility. The rea... |

| Thanks. I will read the book and determine whether or not I have A/S. I am not sure though whether I will come back even if I think I have it. I have to say its been far more negative than positive. I would hope that relying on the reading of a single book as the determining factor of your suspecte... |

| I am looking for positive or negative feedback on jiaogulan and whether it has helped anyone else out. I have had jiaogulan tea. It didn't help with my anxiety or calm me at all. Maybe give it another try, or try a larger dose or more doses or a different source. I don't think I noticed anything un... |

| Agreed, I might be confused but everything I read about Aspergers suggests that it is not (even close to being ) fully understood and that makes the premise of most of these objections false in that they assume they understand aspergers better than I do. Maybe they don't ? Yes, they do. They have t... |

OK, I like that |

| But who cares if I cannot separate the anxiety part from the Aspie part. How can you separate two problems that are so entangled with one another ? Do you suggest then so as to stop pissing people here off that I first confirm that I am an Aspie and until then, cease and desist ? You found a tea th... |

| I am looking for positive or negative feedback on jiaogulan and whether it has helped anyone else out. No one else here has tried it, no one else here is interested in trying it. Deal with it. What else do you know about everyone in this forum what they have done and what they are interested in ? |

It isn't about catching you in a technicality. You can't have a "technicality" about describing Aspergers if you actually have it. That's ... |

| No, I don't understand Aspergers and I would like to learn more. If you are trying to get me on a technical argument then fine, you could be correct. But I think I have already written that ad-naseum and if you want me to bow down to all of you that are more technically correct than me then conside... |

| How many of you lurk in these forums trying to correct people on technicalities rather than try and uncover something worthwhile ? Bingo. We have a winner. That reveals much more than you realise. I could do that too. And I knew that to some extent but really, is that the only reason you are here b... |

| OK, when it comes to making me interested in the little ins and outs and reacting to facial gestures I must confess that it doesn't do that directly HOWEVER, it creates enough calmness which gives rise to patience so I have the ability to focus more on these things. In other words, I'm not so anxio... |

| But I am honest to a fault, that's who I am. And I swear to anyone that will listen or read this that I have had several periods since I started drinking this stuff where I feel much less Aspie-like. And I'm also saying that that's a good thing. I think you'll get farther with the folks here if, in... |

| But my socializing difficulties have nothing to do with being calm/not calm about it - I simply don't see and/or understand most social routines and related facial stuff, even if I'm already perfectly calm. I don't get them not because I'm not calm - I simply don't get them , and I can already focu... |
