When I was at the hospital we weren't allowed to have caffeine.

Do you have ADHD?

If so, and you take stimulent medication because it helps, then caffeine should help in the same way.

A CNS stimulent has a paralell effect on people with inattention impulsivness and hyperactivity, although no one really understands why that is.

Well according to the lady who runs the Huddersfield autism support group there's a ton of people with autism and AS round here. She reckons it's something in the water but to be honest I think it's more the fact that it's quiet here but still very convenient for shops, public transport etc.

I know at least 2 others with AS around here (one not very well) and a relative of theirs is autistic (that's outside the support group, which I don't go to regularly).

Coffee makes me feel relaxed until I pass a certain dosage, at which point I am nuts. 8)

Yep, house-sitting here so live on a big hill with no car, but the landscape is lovely and there's everything I need, plus great bus connections :)

That's very normal for someone with ADD or ADHD
