| yep, all the time. I work out topic lists in advance so that if I'm stuck I've got something to say to break those uncomfortable silences that I can't stand. Although usually I'm rambling on so much anyway that no-one else gets a look in until they tell me to shut up, which happens frequently. Tiffi... |

| Thanks everyone for your replies. I don't think my confusion is ever going to sort itself out. I keep trying to find answers but I'm feeling very ill at the moment due to the stress of waiting for a diagnosis, feeling led on that 'this was it' after years of searching and I've generally lost hope in... |

| I'm going to quote from my ADI result which is apparently negative but I don't buy it. Does anyone else diagnosed or undiagnosed relate to my situation here and understand how the interviewer/doctor came to this conclusion when I've personally read of many disruptive AS people myself in books and in... |

| I find it really difficult to see defined edges on things a lot of the time. Everything seems to blend in together and it's hard to see objects standing out in 3D it's almost like I see mostly in 2D where it's all flat. It's very disorientating at times and I find I'm always walking into things, tri... |

| I definitely get this. I actually thought I had a hearing problem and had a hearing test and I had perfect hearing. This didn't surprise me at all really because I can hear so many sounds others can't and things like sirens approaching way off in the distance before anyone else. But when I'm talking... |

| I always think that people accuse you of things that bother them about themselves. I came across one person who claimed that I never admitted to being wrong. Actually, I freely admit when I am wrong. I do not make many mistakes, because I compulsively check and double check my work. This person was... |

| I was first given diazepam in 1975 and I didn't want to take it. The doctor got really annoyed with me so I started taking it. 5mg three times a day, I was 20. I was in such a state of anxiety with constant panic attacks all day and waking me up at night. I was experiencing them one after the other ... |

somebody outside looking in
but here I am for all the world to see,
you'll never know the real me'>
