I can relate to all of these posts (except yours InstominFan :) ... tennis isn't really my thing ... no offense). Words and phrases are frequently looping in my head. And I've been known to listen to the same song for hours at a time on loop. I've always wondered how common it is.

I said something honest to a coworker today and they laughed. I was sitting here reviewing it and realized I couldn't tell which. Then I realized I usually can't. I considered asking for clarification but I'm not sure how it would come across. I'm OK being laughed at as long as it's not mean spirite...

Yep....NT's "rock" all the time. As for "flapping": probably not so often, since one has to have really flexible wrists to truly "flap" in the stereotypical "autistic" manner. If I flapped all the time like that, my wrist would be killing me now! I'm not talk...

"I think I understand just enough about the way other people think to know that the way I think is not the same"

There is a sort of contradiction in there for me in respect to Autism I'm trying to sort out.

I keep having to go back to the start to read all the points and then as soon as I've read them I forget. I like the thread though. Well, you could always go to the current page, and at the top where it lists all the pages you could right click the "1" and press "open link in new tab...

One thing people forget ... "Autism" is a set of behaviors. A big rock might fall on your head, and you develop autism (the set of behaviors). I have observable brain damage-- that is some other condition . As a result of my brain damage, I have dx of autism (the set of behaviors). If I r...

You made these observations but did not specify their purpose. This leaves the door, perhaps intentionally so, wide open in terms of replies. Not understanding the motivation of your post I will just comment on each observation you have made, in turn. 1. I haven't really seen this, but that doesn't ...

I hope if you get to try it, it works well for you. I've missed a day here and there on the Concerta and it reminds me of how much it really helps.

My memory is very good but it requires triggers to recall. When one shows up the memories come back to me as vividly as photos or movies. There are also things I remember better or worse. I tend to scan my environment all the time therefore I am very good at recalling things, places and events - I ...

There is also the theory that you actually remember absolutely everything that has ever happened to you, you just cannot ordinarily access those memories. Not sure how that fits in. At times I think an eidetic memory would be awesome - but at other times, I'm glad that so much of my history has bla...

Those of us affected with Asperger's Syndrome have memories that can be quite extensive indeed. To quote the great Tony Attwood, who has more than 40 years experience dealing with Autism, in his book "The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome,": "The child's encyclopedic knowledge ca...

I have wanted to try Abilify but it's too expensive here in Australia. The reason I want to try it is because it's not as fatigue-inducing as haloperidol. At least I think so. I have been on dexamphetamine for ADHD since 2004, haloperidol since 2011. I take 5mgs of haloperidol every night. It's for...

I heard of people taking both meds together for depression. I was on Abilify for most of 5 years. I tried other antipsychotics out before & after but went back to Abilify. It did not turn me into a zombie but it made me shaky, caused me to slur when I talked sometimes & had bad dry mouth. I...
