| For those of you that got diagnosed as an adult how did you pay for the testing. Did your insurance cover it, did you have to appeal it, did you pay out of pocket or in installments? I'm sort of getting pissed that because I am an immigrant and that I didnt have access to these sorts of tests and e... |

| "Biological" option is nearest description to what motivates me, so that's what I voted. When I say that, I *don't* mean the "make babies ! !!" thing, I mean only the other stuff: physical and emotional closeness & contact. It's not social/peer/family pressure, it's just what my brain craves: a ... |

| I still use dial-up (I imagine collective gasp at that admission). Got my first & only computer in early 2004, an eMac that runs Panther (10.3) a few "generations" ago. Am unwilling/unable to spend more money upgrading. Sucks that various things want me to do so, such as my email saying "our ne... |

| It doesn't seem like advice, just a subjective assessment of OP's areas of strength/competence & weakness/difficulty. A lot of us are good at academic or task-oriented work, but not so talented/adept at the interpersonal/social realm. Excerpt from ?Think Like A Freak? by Steven D. Levitt & ... |

| Ended an LDR a couple months back-we're both liberal childfree atheists, a rare demographic indeed. I wasn't into the idea of long-distance, but it did feel good (to us both) to have someone to type back & forth to each day. That was what I missed the most when it ended, because it constituted m... |

| I voted "yes, but only a little" in the poll-because I can tolerate a little bit of travel, and I haven't thrown up for that reason since childhood. Motion sickness is a contributor to my inability/unwillingness to travel (at least beyond a small radius around where I live). However, agoraphobia, so... |

| Phone is tough for me, too. Have a friend with whom we have an arrangement to talk once a week at specific time on same day of the week, every week-that predictable routine helps a lot. I also take notes so I can see what we talked about in previous weeks, it helps me to focus & stay in the mind... |

| To second what another poster said: Yes, it sounds like a panic attack-people with or without AS can be subject to them. Being in a group/crowd, being out in public, for me is like being stuck in a room with 20 tv sets on, each blaring a different channel-too much stimuli, all of which clash with ea... |

| A couple more ideas- I try to take a very nuts & bolts practical mindset, like I'm negotiating a deal, mediating, bargaining, with myself. I think "okay, I need to do something on list A" (tasks I loathe), what on list B (tasks I enjoy) can I bundle together with the dreaded chore/errand, that w... |

| I can understand initial infatuation, then those feelings fade as the relationship continues. Say I like guy X, but over time my experiences of him cause my negative feelings to start reaching/matching the level of what positive feelings I had. But I'm trying to preserve the relationship, keep thing... |

| Love the show. Watched it when it aired, then watched whole run of it again (incl. the not-so-special sequel show on different network, "Scrubs: Med. School") on YouTube. So many great things about the show, I can't even list all the reasons why... "How medicine has progressed over time": [youtube]h... |
