Although my psychiatrist may suspect bipolar and has me on mood stabilizers now. I’ve also started seeing a psychologist but feel like it’s all a waste of time. Psychi... |

I am almost diagnosed with Asperger's, but I get major mood swings and have done throughout my life. When I was about13-16, I would have 1 month of lethargy and depression (which I didn't know wa... |

For right now I am diagnosed with depression, although she said she wouldn't rule out the possibility of bipolar 2/hypomania, but she didnt have enough evidence to diagnosis me with bipolar right now (its bee... |

| Most autism specific therapy is only provided to children, there is usually piss all programs, resources or help for adults with issues specific to autism. You can find help for depression/anxiety usually pretty easily though. With regards to meds, they will usually throw an anti-depressant at you.... |

| Since you are new, welcome to Wrong Planet! Many of the problems that Aspies experience such as depression and anxiety are stress driven. Stress is cumulative in nature. Too much stress throws your body into a distress state. The one type of therapy that several Aspies have endorsed that really hel... |

| Thanks those are good options for headphones and ear plugs. I don’t think I’ve ever seen ones as discreet as those. I agree. I don’t think trying to desensitize is right for everyone. I think it would bring me to a breaking point after awhile. I had the assessment and am waiting on the results. I tr... |
