How common is it for people on the spectrum to be prescribed xanax, valium, or ativan?
When I get really stressed it feels like my brain needs a benzodiazepam otherwise I kind of pace in a circle and fixate on things. I really think I need to be prescribed a benzo of some sort to be honest. |

| I repeat what someone says involuntarily sometimes, and I didn't know it was related to autism until about the last 6 months. Always thought it was weird. I still do it but I'm less hard on myself when I do it now. It's just a symptom of autism, I don't think we can change that. Am I wrong? |

Hate to be hypochondriac but it kind of resembles turretts, doesn't it? I really don't know. It's like social anxiety makes me tick sometimes. |

Perhaps if you were distraught because of autism and needed something to calm you down.
Doesn't sound like it tho, OP, otherwise you would have said that. |

Worst thing pot does: You pig out on a pizza while watching comedy central and then bake a marrie calenders apple pie.
Been sober for far too long this week, it needs to be legalized already. Plain and simple: It's illegal because anyone can grow it for free. |

Quote: If they really had this so-called "empathy," wouldn't they be noticeably disturbed by events in Japan, Libya, or Bahrain?
Good point, guess I do have empathy because I find these things disturbing and US foreign policy morally repugnant. That's a really good point. |
