| I've taken a lot of acid in the last two years and have had great experiences almost every time. Unlike a lot of people, I have mostly used it in clubs because of how great a lot of dance music sounds when you're tripping and I find it removes my anxiety about dancing in the presence of others. It d... |

| I'm glad to know that it's not just me who really struggles to not actually answer the question when asked how they are. I've been asked why I'm so miserable by friends and family members for years and the answer I always wanted to give was "Because I was born on the wrong planet." As I've... |

| I don't think AS inherently leads to you adopt any particular position. I've come into contact with people with AS on the far-right and far-left. Environment is the primary determining factor for the most part. |

| I live in South Wales and after a bit of searching, there may be a service in Newport that could help me out though nothing as sophisticated as the one you have access to! I did that quiz that many on here have done and got 169 out of 200. The shock of recognition on seeing some of the questions was... |

| As you understand, nobody can say for sure but I would certainly suspect that you do, based on what you've said. It is, at least, worth you going to your GP and asking for help with this. Thanks for the reply. I plan on seeing my GP soon. I've been made to feel all my life that I am the problem so ... |

| I haven't spoken to anyone other than my parents and checkout staff in nearly two weeks. Recently had a severe breakdown in a different country that forced me to come back home. This was caused in part by the stress of social interaction which pushed me back into the drinking problem I've had for th... |

| I've had serious self-control problems with alcohol in particular since I started drinking twelve years ago. However, the problems have been almost exclusively in social situations as I very rarely drink on my own. If I do, I am almost always responsible as I am happy enough in my own company most o... |

| Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 169 of 200 Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 36 of 200 You are very likely neurodiverse (Aspie) I haven't been diagnosed but the recognition of my behaviour in so many of the questions was startling. http://www.rdos.net/eng/poly10a.php?p1=78&p2=91&p3=81... |

| Hello. I am someone who is very wary of self-diagnosing myself but when I read about the manifestations of aspergers I am confronted with many of my own personality traits and problems. Hopefully by providing a brief history of my life you can get a better idea of whether I am right in thinking that... |
