| There is a bright side to finding out you have a personality disorder and not AS. At least, you can always find the bright side in a situation if you are an optimist, and it can't hurt to be an optimist. The bright side for this, I suppose, is that being diagnosed with a personality disorder may not... |

| I have had this same obsession. Now, I take Zoloft for mild OCD and anxiety, and school is now much less a source of worry for me. My grades remain fine and I will graduate in a few months. Try not to feel like you are on the verge of doom. Just do your part, fill out the necessary applications and ... |

| Zoloft is what I recommend as a first line of treatment. It is officially approved by the FDA to treat social anxiety. Lexapro is not officially approved for social anxiety. Zoloft's main side effect is that it can make you jittery at first. After a while, it subsides and you feel like yourself agai... |

| Seems unusual, someone getting extra friendly with you. What's in it for her? That's what I would be wondering. She has a boyfriend already. I guess her motivation could be that she wants to be your friend, but then of course she was not introduced to you and so she was not really invited to do such. |

Quote: I personally think self-diagnosing your AS is more accurate than having some head shrink do it.
I personally think differently. A head shrink probably knows more about psychology and how to diagnose autism or AS than a lot of folks who think they do. |

Now paying for the classes is another matter. You might need to take out loans for that. With an education behind you (a deg... |
