Well, with teachers in mind: If you want me to speak when I raise my hand, don't just look at me and expect that I know you want me to talk. Point at me and say 'yes' if you don't know my name.

Particularly teachers? I have to make a presentation about it for college and I'm struggling. I have to assume that the readers are not informed on ASDs. |

I am dreadful at my trying to do the small talk. If somebody mentions an interesting topic, I might hook in it and I will summarize something, but when I am supposed to do the trash talk with which every dialogue starts, I am just staring at the other person and expect them to say something first. ... |

I strongly suspect I have mild, perhaps high functioning aspergers syndrome. I've been put through a lot of hassle already by the NHS who have messed me around and referred me to all the wrong specialists (ADHD, for example) and have been waiting since April 2011 to see somebody. It's coming to the... |

Is anyone here doing AS English Language? How are they finding it? So far I've missed a lot of classes mainly due to anxiety issues, but in two of the classes I have been in, autism was mentioned which I found odd, since I don't think it comes up in classroom banter often. On the first occasion the ... |

I'm rubbish at remembering numbers, but there's a woman at my college who works with AS students and she says there are ~19 of them out of 1500~ students overall ( not counting me who she said she thinks would be a very, very mild case if I was diagnosed, and I think one of the 19 may have autism pr... |

'According to the DSM's definition of dysthymia, it is a serious state of chronic depression, which persists for at least 2 years; it is less acute and severe than major depressive disorder.'
Not 'forever~'. |
