| Yensid, I had a hard time figuring out I was asperger because I managed to overcome social problem and seemed "normal" to others because I've developped some behavior that helped me with other. Like you said I had to learn it the hard way, and I wished it would've been taught, but I was lucky enough... |

| Chronos, with all due respect, are you able to elaborate? Do you have facts to back up your claims? Or do you simply do the argumentative strategy of bashing the other side of your belief? The reason I did that post was to inform people who are naturally against it because of their lack of informati... |

| I did love going to rollercoaster after I saw it was secured for me. I believe that a child with autism should overcome their fear. I did that all my life, I have a lot of fear, but most of the time I would overcome them which leads me to be less fearfull. Knowledge is powerful when it come to fear.... |

| I'm of course in favor of medical usage for cannabis. I think that it's a drug that should be restrained to people who could benefits in any way from it. Not just terminal state conditions, since cannabis has a more to help than just physical pain. Also, keeping a certain discrimination in whom can ... |

| Being social doesn't only involve taling to others, you also need to act social. Which mean smile to people when they smile at you, don't invade their personnal space but don't be too far away. Accept when you are touched or huged. Get interest in what they say, don't just talk about your personnal ... |

| Cannabis is legal for medical uses in Canada. The it's illegal "argument" is something I have always a hard time with. Yes they're reason because it's illegal, but it's more economical issues than danger to the human body. It became legal in Canada in 2001, was illegal before but it changed because ... |

| Wow, by seeing how much a diagnosis can cost, I'm happy to live here where I can see a psy for free. I even have the freedom to see another one since I suspected my first psy to be incompentent with AS. If you are sure that you have asperger, maybe you could try coaching. I don't think they need a d... |

| people with AS should be careful of drugs especially. They can fool you into thinking that you're acting less awkward because you lose your anxiety. They also fool you into thinking you are still in control, there is nothing wrong with the way you are acting, and convince you that it's other people... |
