| I have extreme social anxiety and I have tried several ssri's for it. I tried paxil first and it worked well for a while but I had side effects such as stomach pain. Next I tried lexapro and I couldn't tell it made any difference. Now I am on Effexor xr and I am doing great without any side effects.... |

| In High school I overheard some girls asking my cousin why I didn't join in with them when they were clowning around. She answered, "I guess its because her dad is a minister." The real reason I didn't try to join in was because I had been rejected so many times before. |

| I don't think I want any friends. I don't answer my phone. I don't answer the door. I only go out to get grocerys and come straight home. I only communicate with my children and my husband. I go walking in a nature preserve where I rarely run into anyone. If I do run into anyone, it ruins my mood! |

| I got yelled at at the department of motor vehicles. Here's how it went. I was helping a friend get his driver's license. On the day of the driver's test I had to go in with him because he was using my car. I had to take the vehicle registration in to prove it's my car. When I showed the woman my re... |

| Yes, I have a special affinity for cats as well. I have tamed several feral cats in my lifetime and the three I own now are their offspring. Leo, the first feral I tamed died of feline leukemia, four years ago. I could communicate almost on a telepatic level with Leo. I allowed him all the freedom h... |

| I am the same. I have to leave when my husband showers with very fragrant body washes like High Endurance or AXE. They make my eyes and throat burn. I cannot stand the smell of burnt popcorn, or smoke of any kind. It makes me nausated and dizzy. I have to leave the neighborhood when my neighbors bur... |

| I have more trouble making friends with people my own age, (my peers), than I do with someone much younger or much older. I read somewhere that this is a charactistic of Asperger syndrome. Therefore, I find it quite fitting that people of all ages are communicating harmoniously on an AS message board. |

| "Freaks, Geeks, and Asperger Syndrome", was one of the first books I read about AS. I remember liking it a lot. Luke Jackson is very witty and wise for his age. You can go to amazon.com and read some of the first chapter for free. |

| Angel by Sarah McLachlan, He Walked On Water by Randy Travis, Honey by Bobby Goldsboro, and Eric Clapton's Tears In Heaven, can make me cry for days, so I avoid listening to them if I possibly can. |

I get it at sleep onset and the only way I can get out of it is to force myself to wiggle my toes, which is very hard ... |

| I consider myself a tomboy. I hate busy patterns and always dress in plain tees and jeans. I don't wear jewelry or makeup and I don't style my hair or primp. I like to do things like fix cars and build furniture. All my friends are male except one female who shares my tomboyish interests. |
