| I think that you are being percieved as non caring if you don't know how to show that you care, and I think that this is what most autistics struggle with. As you have seen on the site, people care. For me, trying to comfort someone is very difficult, I always feel that I'm saying the wrong thing, a... |

| I also laugh at inappropriate times. Sad and dramatic scenes in movies/tv can be really funny to me. First of all, I already know that they are actors and the scene is fake so it's not really happening. It can also be quite bad acting (over-acting) which makes it funny. I can also begin to laugh whe... |

| Hi Mike Like Persephone, I also see some ocd type stuff in what you describe. I was wondering what happens to you/how you feel if you flip the switch/close the door, and the "wrong" image comes into your mind and you just let it be there/ignore it? Is that possible at all or do you get cau... |

| Hi I have both BPD and Aspergers, so one doesn't rule out the other. I was diagnosed with depression first, then aspergers and a few years later BPD as well. There are a lot of similarities between those two diagnoses, and since both can differ in symptoms between different people that makes it very... |

Is it even possible since you already have a dog? If your doctor "prescribed" an ESA, would that make your dog an ESA?
And since your landlord has a one pet rule, if you got an ESA, would you be allowed to keep the one that isn't? Or would both have to be ESA? |

Don't know how much of the anxiety is related to the ASD, don't know how to define what's what. In ... |

| Hi I can relate, I also have difficulties dealing with my emotions. For me, DBT therapy has helped a lot (the group part was hell and I didn't finish those sessions but I still have my one on one therapist so it works). There are four modules in DBT and one of them is emotion regulation. I find DBT ... |

| Hi BrokenPieces (It might be the thread I started that you mentioned in your first post, I don't know.) I just wanted to say that I did try ECT because everybody kept telling me how well it worked, so I gave it a shot. It did nothing good for me, my depression was the same during and after, but I'm ... |
