Do you find yourself more able to think about one topic at a time? Do you feel less "scattered" in your thoughts? How about anxious rumination?

Pretty much no to all points, with the exception that I don't understand what "anxious rumination" means?

I've been given the diagnosis of ADHD ontop of my diagnosis of Aspergers. My doctor has put me on a product similar to Ritalin (ie. Same product, different name). I've been taking it for about a week (starting at 5 mg x 3 times a day), which the doctor increased to 10 mg a couple of days after I sta...

Depends on severity of the problem. If it's occasional crashing then I just restart the game and might let out a swear word, if the last save was a long time back. though I have just spend 4 days getting my StarCraft 2 working again, since it wouldn't start at all. After 3 days and several reinstall...

It's a great game, but it's more of a shooter than a SHOCK family member in my oppinion.

I couldn't say for sure that I have PTSD, but I certainly think I might after a very troubling childhood. Also I'm diagnoses with AS.

If I'm carrying weed then I tend to get a little anxious. :lol:

But otherwise ... I get annoyed, because I'm aqua-phobic and can't swim. Which is a requirement for joining the Danish Police Force.

Aspergers is different is each person. I suffer from depression from time to time, that part of it can be a b**ch to get through. But overall those who are negatively affected the worst are usually also those seeking/getting a diagnosis, thus this is the general stigma of AS. Correcting the employee...

I was watching the entire series of "ER" a little while back and I think you could say that the following shows clear signs of Aspergers.

  • Robert 'Rocket' Romano (Played by Paul McCrane)
  • Archibald Morris (Played by Scott Grimes)

Definitely so ... I used to call it "babyface syndrome". And it's clearly an AS trait.

When I was 23, I got asked for ID when buying alcohol (legal age was 16).

No, but others believe I do, with absolutely no basis for their claims. Same here, I even hate going to the doctor for fear of being labeled a hypochondriac. And asking doctors question ... I rarely ever do. I certainly have a bunch of them and want to. My solution was to learn a s**t load of medic...

It might work positively in OP. But in my experience the use of weed is always a random thing. First up I always get some anxiety, but sometimes I end up getting so much anxiety that it becomes really bad (I get scared from just about every little sound, in my experience it's because my brain looses...

An aspie civilization. I guess it would look like the vulcan's or something I totally agree. We are called "aliens", and I've always seen myself more vulcan than human. Aspie politics will be a bit weird. Yeah it would just be called getting things done :wink: At least if you think of the majority ...

I tried the hugging thing once, but the NT felt I was making fun at their situation... because I didn't show the emotions she was expecting. Since then I've already remained extremely passive, then somebody in the room would handle it instead of me. If I'm alone in the room then I try to use word, b...
