Coffee does things to me...

Post Reply New Topic

I first thought this might be connected to asperger's when my best friend told me his brother (who has asperger's) had coffee once and went off the wall. Now I first ever had coffee this year and it was at work, I was tired and was offered coffee and thought nothing of it. Well it just so happens I get even stranger and more myper than usually and lose the ability to control myself. This was before I knew I had asperger's, is it possible that because certain drugs seem to effect aspies differently that coffee does as well?

P.S. I just found this on some site when I was looking up the difference between "affect" and "effect" I found it very cool,
"Hey, nobody ever said English was logical: just memorize it and get on with your life."
If I had room in my signature I would post it there.

Please post about my coffee theory, I think I might have something.

I'm certainly in no possition to protest here. I don't know anyone else who thought they went out of their body, but didn't actualy do it. Coffie did it for me twice. I once had four table spoons of boiled ground, the dark kind. Boy was that night a ride! I felt like my head was being sucked on, like I had two sets of hands, the walls seemed to become transparent and fake like, and I even saw a red horizon against a white one. Very wierd. Some of my brain must have been awake, while other parts were sleeping.

More recently, it made me very paranoid. I drank a medium gingersnap latte from Star bucks. Boy that was a kick. My hands lost their feeling in them, and I thought a demon was trying to suck me into hell. It was hard going to sleep, but I actualy pulled it off easily that time, considering the fear factor. Oh boy...

When it's not powerful, I feel guilt, anxiety, and sadness. I start feeling like a vile failure in irrational ways. Bhold the power of coffie. I know from experiance that it can act like a drug.

I don't notice anything different about myself apart from me getting hyper.
What really makes me act stranger is fish. I don't know what it is but it makes my brain overactive and I'm unable to shut it off.

Coffee makes me sleeepy..and I take fish oil every day...my mind goes to hell if I don't have my omegas.
However...I do tend to get very angry after eating sushi, so maybe there is something to that.

Isn't it normal to become awake, at worst (if a person consumes way to much) anxious and nervous when consuming caffeine?

Caffeine makes me feel bad. I have the impression that I think to quickly and can't do anything.

Coffee makes me very very hyperactive for a while and then gives me the worst headache followed by extreme tiredness.
This means if I drink it I have to be at home on my own, so i dont embarrass myself and can easily get to bed.
Therefore I only drink tea these days, apart from the odd decaff at starbucks

Oh yeah.

I do not drink coffee, but caffeine makes me feel calmer, less hyperactive, a fraction more concentrated (probably because I'm not that active) and I can easily fall asleep.

Alright, I think I have my answer. Thank you all for posting.

sister is aspie,and she usually gets sick whenever she drinks coffee.
its a good laxitive,if have a few of them in a row.

Wow at this time the poll is 50/50 with ten people saying one thing and ten saying the other...
