| ... I have insomnia too. I work very hard to control it, but lately I too have been going to bed at anywhere from 3 to 5 in the morning. During finals I took a large dose of Nyquil at around 11pm every night to go to sleep. Very bad, I know, but I had to. The bad thing about ear plugs is a) they som... |

| My question for homeschoolers is an interesting one, particularly when related to people with AS. I feel that I learned more social skills because I was at the school enviroment. My mom looks back and wonders if she should have homeschooled me, but I feel like if I was homeschool I would not have an... |

| I have the hardcore construction style earplugs. Lol. And yea, I know how to put them in. It just shows how loud people are. I wish I could live off campus but unfortunately we are not allowed to until we are atleast 20 or of junior status. I have a while to go before I am either of those things (mo... |

| Ugh. I concure. My roommate is sooo annoying. So are the boys above us, and all the girls around us. Quiet hours starts at 10:30. No one is quiet until 1 or 2 am. Annoying things my roommate does: Leaves her phone on high when she goes to sleep. Then her friends text her all night. Does she turn it ... |

| I didn't take the ACT, but on the New SAT I got a 1750, or Math/Reading I got a 1220. Most colleges around here do not factor in the new writing section... and it was my lowest score. Got a 620 in math, 600 in reading and a 530 on the writing. The average math/reading score for my fairly selective p... |

| Yes -- it requires documentation that these things are actually nessiary to my education. I was just wondering what sort of things have worked for other members... what they found useful. |

| Oh gosh yeah. I don't think that is fair. I am not looking for extra time so that I can do like, perfect A+. Actually if I could have a quiet enviroment that would probably solve most of my problem. Just in the noisy classroom enviroment really messes with me. But anyway, I totally understand what y... |

There are situations where that is acceptable and necessary, but these people are very highly functional and very intelligent. Any... |

| I agree with you about accommodations. In high school they wanted to give me accommodations, but I refused because I was like "no i can do as well as the other students.. etc". Well, it is true I am usually able to take the test and do reasonably well, and so forth like that. But at the same rate, I... |

| I think you should get a roommate. You can't avoid dealing with people and the world. Getting a single only enables your sickness. First of all, I don't think of it as a sickness. Secondly, your right, I don't want to isolate myself. Which is why I need my room to be near that of my friends. But I ... |

| Often myself I feel very bad and horrible and disgusting to see other kids getting picked on, or made fun of, or anything of that sort. I also feel desperately bad when I see kids eating lunch by themselves. I think its because I understand their positions. The chubby kid with acne who eats lunch on... |

Like whenever I do go back home and see my family and get to watch tv and just relax and be comfortable and have no one bug me except people that I like (family/boyfriend). But I know that there is no calling for me in the... |
