| Dear Aspendos, Apologies for the late reply but I couldn't get 'reply to post' before (can't seem to use this forum without help). It's an interesting idea, but I don't see how the UN can enforce this even in one country, never mind worldwide. Also, I'm not quite sure of a definition of a minority g... |

| To All of You, Please accept apologies if I have contacted you before or if you've got prior copies of any of this. This is a group e-mail which I am sending because I don't get a lot of time with help on the computer and type very slowly. Would be interested to hear anyone's responses /views on the... |

| Really think all drugs should be tested again. Also I think someone could heal in a better way. Also think the data needs collecting on medical, science & research. For this stuff. And environmental data too. Also could do with a equipment shop. Dear Technodog, Can't quite follow your e-mail, p... |

Thank you for your help but a lot of the energy drinks around here are heavy on caffeine, sugar and very long chemical words which I can't spell and don't want to drink. I'll definitely look out for some healthy ones, can you recomm... |

| Wandering_Stranger Yeh, it sounds horribly familiar. None of these people / organisations actually bother to listen to anything you say or tell anybody anything. You may as well tell people things yourself and at least you would get ignored / have your information lost personally. Otherwise, the sta... |

| Dear Questor, The trouble with starting my own adult group is that I have never managed to get a contact for talking to other aspergers in the local newsletter and I am also not allowed to use the website to post things like that. I also seem to get a lift to the meetings every 10 years or so and I ... |

| Briefly, 11 years ago, I was just finding out about autism/aspergers and was awaiting diagnosis. (I am now 50+). Myself and partner were living in Norwich, we still live in Norfolk. We found the local Asperger Norfolk group, it seems still to be run by and for those living in Norwich, unless you hav... |

If something were to ever happen to my mother and she couldn't leave me anything I'll probably end up homeless and have nothing because I can't stand working, not that anyone would hi... |

| I'll advise against Risperidone in any way. I know of no situation which could be made better with that. It's horrible. I've used it for years, it made my memory awful and it took months for some of the withdrawal symptoms to disappear. Heard similar stories from others who used it. One said he had... |

| You know what? Maybe working isn't so bad. It doesn't take too much to change someone's perspective. It's all a matter of the mind. You wanna live where you live? You want to save for your future and possibly your family's future? Well then you better get a job. It can be fun. It's fun to share a c... |
