| I get ticks quite a bit. Not sure whether they're to do with Video Games or not. Have you tried Rispiridone? No, I've never given him medications. The ticks only lasted not more than 2 weeks and disappeared. If they were affecting his life, and hindering him, then I would take it into consideration... |

| I would agree with the points Nan makes...many of us learned to function inspite of no DX and no specia services and it has helped us become more independent in some ways.

| true.. Men are more visually stimulated, and women are more audio stimulated, the sound of rain falling, can put us in a romantic mood.
