I'm really wondering if the lack of people with a firm diagnosis has something to do with Aspergers being taken out of the DSM. My psychologist seems to think I have it, but psychiatrist doesn't seem to care about a diagnosis.

Is that the only med you take? When I had Temple Grandin for a professor I think she may have been taking that drug.

I can't figure out how to make my replies show up under the person's post that I'm replying to.

click the little icon that says "quote" at the right hand side of the person you want to reply to's post. Then scroll down to the end of that persons comment and say what you want to say.

Like this? I am also blind which can make using the forums difficult.

Anyway, often I translate social awkwardness, maybe even loneliness, to health worries. Making a conscious effort to (imperfectly!) add to my repertoire of social skills helps (and imperfect is so much more interesting anyway!). Also, philosophy has helped some, perhaps the writings of Bertrand Russell as much as anything else.

That's awesome you have been able to analyze it so far to understand it some.

I take lexapro for anxiety. I forget to take it a lot so I get off track and it doesn't help sometimes.

I used to take prozac and it helped a lot, but then I started having wierd side effects and I stopped taking it regularly, so the doctor changed my prescription.

I think anti-anxiety meds help A LOT. They do for me at least - I'm a lot more confident in social situations.

Thank you, and I think what's help me even more is adding specific skills, especially a good smattering of social skills.

I have patchy social skills and that is perfectly okay!
