| Would it even kill your family to remind you like putting in a new trash bag? I am sure after a while it will be sunk into your routine they won't have to remind you anymore. I have noticed that people don't seem to like having to remind people to do things. I know everyone does this every now and ... |

| Sounds to me like you are being put under severe stress at the moment, so its not surprising you have started seeing things (given your schizophrenia that is). I have a friend whose daughter has schizophrenia and she normally hallucinates when she is under the most stress. I can't give you psycholog... |

| I remember when I got my diagnosis earlier this year I was in a state of distress to begin with. At 50 years old I had always told myself "tomorrow it will get better, or maybe next week - or even next year, but it will get better". To be told that it was never going to get better because I have a l... |

| Because "low functioning" and even the word "autism" are 1)associated with symptoms that are considered negative, and/or 2)associated with symptoms that do not apply to "high functioning"/Asperger's Syndrome Actually the symptoms of autism are no different to the symptoms of Aspergers - they just d... |

| Not sure how I will be able to help, but I will try. At the moment I'm already involved in two charities so am reaching the limits of my useful energy (don't you just hate having to ration your energy because there is so little of it). I'm by no means an expert in the field, but I do have a bit of ... |

| However I need to ask why do some aspies and even high functioning autistics seem to distance themselves from others who are low or mid functioning or sometimes even the word autism in general. Because "low functioning" and even the word "autism" are 1)associated with symptoms that are considered n... |

| My son is medium functioning, and despite his problems is actually very intelligent. Some people would say that because he has a mental age of 4 at the physical age of 7 that he is somehow less intelligent. This is a mistaken point of view, because although he has the mind of a four year old, it is ... |

Just looking for a pity party? Well you see that is where you are making a huge fundamental ... |
