They were probably evaluating you for orthostatic hypotension. If you're not tired when standing it's probably not POTS. I suggest that you not ignore this and not believe that it is beyond your capability to get a diagnosis on your own and with a budget. Ideally doctors would help you. Unfortunatel...

Interesting, thank you for sharing. That's not anxiety. Though my former Dr. tried to pass it off as that. Which is half of why they're my former Dr. To be clear, do you mean borderline like BPD, which it categorically isn't a symptom of, or do you mean borderline like its similar to another conditi...

Thanks for sharing you're experience. It's the same for me (with concentration at least, but I have stress issues with it too) and I've recorded my blood O2 falling to hypoxemia levels (<90% O2) when it happens. It seems to be something that hasn't been studied, even though threads like this one dem...

I'm sorry it took me a bit to reply. My roommate (also autistic) had to go to the dentist yesterday which is a two hour drive and then people happened and then they messed up her appointment and we had to argue with them to get them to do the thing the appointment was booked for (fixing a half broke...

In reading this I'd like to ask you to remember that just because you may not have a problem doesn't mean others don't. And claiming that something isn't possible without supporting data is pretty much what neurotypicals do to us all the time. Which doesn't feel very good and isn't very rational. I ...

You are entitled to your opinion, but it doesn't matter to me whether you think I belong on the autism spectrum or not. Apart from my undergrad psych degree, and working around members of the psych profession in the research field for 13 years on improving accuracy in qualitative studies, I have a f...

Grump is the non-technical term. The technical term is anhedonia. Bunch of other stuff too, but that's the real miserable one. I made an account because this is the second time I've tried to find information on disordered breathing in autism only to wind up on this forum in a thread from 2018. That'...
