| Hi guys, I'm thinking of starting a group for people on the spectrum, at my college. I've already spoken to employees of the college and the idea is gaining ground.

| Hello All, I was wondering if I could get some input from members who are currently in college or who have recently left school. I am wondering what your biggest issues were- whether it was during the change from living at home to living in a dorm with a roommate or classes or friends or whatnot. Al... |

| Yes I can but it took me a long time to learn-- think I was probably ten or older? I never could quite do things that required my fingers to be dexterous. |

| I don't have any comorbids and have never been told of a medication that works for just ASD (not that I would ever take it anyway)- so the trick is really finding a medication that works for ADHD, but does not make ASD symptoms or effects worse- which really is going to be about trial and error.

| The dog's dead. Hit by a car. Cute little chihuahua girl. Killed because a cable guy carelessly left the fence gate open. And because I wasn't disgusted enough with humanity, the person who hit her kept going. Didn't stop. Hit her and left her in the street. Human beings are the worst. Nuclear holo... |

And I would think, this is it, this is who I am. But then I forget or go into denial or something. And then I go off looking for o... |
