| How do you know if you have low muscle tone? I have never been able to build muscle very much at all. I took weight training for one semester while I was in high school, and I did build some muscle, but I made very slow progress. It took me a few months just to be able to bench press the bar by its... |

| Do you feel your mother is making fun of you, or treating you like a child but has genuine interest in and love for you? I think what you do depends on this as well as whether you feel she can change her behavior or not. She treats me like a child but love me, she just doesn't realize how harmful h... |

| It's typical of her attitude, when I was 16, I had to pass an oral exam but that day I broke down and my mother phoned the teacher to TELL him that I was anxious and shy, and when I came back to school everyone knew about it and I was bullied endlessly which resulted in me dropping out of school. M... |

| What she did regarding the exam when you were in school may have been handled poorly, but was within her scope of authority and responsibility as a parent. At 33, you are of an age where AS was on the radar when you were in school. If you are an American, I'm surprised you didn't have accommodation... |

| OK, so I'm supposed to go to a physiotherapist but the first sessions didn't go to well; the exercices were bad and the therapist uncommunicative. I chitchated about it to my mother via skype later, and after 5 minutes, she told me "ok, I just phoned the physio, everything is settled". I was WHAAAAA... |

| Thank you. I feel much more horrible than I anticipated. He died horribly and alone of liver cirrhosis. We rarely talked to each others because of mutual shyness. He worked 40 years of his life and died 6 month before retirement. I had the result of my biopsy too. I've got connective tissue problems... |

| Yes I'm even more autistic in my dreams One recurrent dream is that I scream for HELP or attention and people around me don't hear me let alone listen to me and move on as if I wasn't there, a bit like the movie "ghost". Then I panic and yell my lungs out to everyone's indifference. Maybe because I ... |

| Thanks for your post. It's true, the biggest challenge for me is to communicate the idea, or to direct the therapist toward the idea that I'm far in the spectrum WITHOUT actually saying the word "Asperger" (which is almost fashionable these past years). That's the challenge. I've seen so many people... |

| That's right, in the French sphere, the Asperger syndrome is not well known. Even today, I'm seen as a lazy ass or a weirdo or what not due to my condition. I'm not considered as someone who has a legit concern. I've got a friend, one of my best friend actually, who has a degree in psychology, is no... |

| As I read this, theres similarities with me with the shutdowns, nail-biting and what not. When I had days when communication was poor, I often am more quiet and stammer which it gets difficult to think/ In those situations though, someone else has to talk for me. Someone who knows me like a parent ... |

| Well, I could do that... the problem is the absolute incapacity in dealing with issues like mine in my country. I had a lot of therapists already, none were of any help. When they are not condescending, they just have a big question mark in their forehead, like "what the hell is he on about". I don'... |
