| I was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, but I find it easier to tell people I have Asperger's rather than explaining it's just "mild autism". Is this ethical since the diagnosis of Asperger's was dropped? |

| I might've had some situations like this back in elementary, but I'll admit in terms of college, this is kinda beyond the pale for me. Maybe it's just because I've gotten really good at hiding it over the years, who knows. Also, awesome signature. I freaking love the work of Hunter S. Thompson. He ... |

| I see some fairly neutral reporting of a situation from OP, and some responses interpreting it negatively. Just to put it out there.. What if this teacher knows about spectrum traits because he or an immediate family member is on the spectrum? Perhaps he wants to make a connection :mrgreen: , but i... |

| You're all incredibly lucky; I live in Europe where land is super expensive and the population is extremely dense. I can't remember a time in my life when I couldn't at least hear cars in the distance, even in the middle of what passes for the countryside over here. Well not so lucky anymore. I jus... |

| That's high school for you. Teachers will always be on the lookout for the "odd" students, and will make whatever comments they please about those students' behaviors. Well, university, but yeah Uni? Private or public? I'm guessing "public", since my impression of private colleg... |

| When I'm in class my teacher will say things that suggest he knows im autistic. One time I asked him if, as a chemistry student, I could get chemicals from the school. He replied, "Yes but that requires socializing with the faculty, so for you, impossible." Then today I didn't have a lab p... |

| I have some problems with willpower - who doesn't? - but I never have touched and never will touch drugs, and I don't see how anybody else can feel otherwise. Why on Earth would anyone WANT to fry his brain? Well, not that I would recommend everyone to, but it's ok to experiment with certain drugs.... |

| Absolutely, I've tried almost every substance. I got addicted to amphetamine briefly, I kicked that habit. I also smoke cannabis frequently and enjoy psychedelic drugs. I dont smoke, but today I bought a pack of cigarettes, threw it away, then went back to the garbage can to get the cigarettes again... |

| I feel the same way and I'd dare say most people on this site do. If I lived in Alaska I'd build a log cabin in the wilderness and live as a hermit for the rest of my life. Haha yes! The hermit idea is my ultimate plan. There is a small town in Alaska with around 300 people called "Seldovia&qu... |

| When I'm in public and theres noises around me and lots of people I don't feel right. I feel slightly on edge. Sometimes at school I will just sit in the bathroom stalls as a way for me to escape noise and people. I'm happiest when I'm in nature, all alone. |

| Don't worry what the GP thinks, it's not his area. He's passed you on to see the psychologist, that's the important thing. The psychologist will make up his own mind. When is your assessment? You were right, i met with the psychologist and I will be evaluated for autism, not personality disorder. T... |
