health problems made worse by autism?

Post Reply New Topic

i get major migraines..i could barely stay awake on the wheel and i threw up in my mouth. a couple times i almost passed out from them and had to leave work
i tried getting on meds but they just slowed me down by making me tired, dizzy, and depressed
now i dont pretend to be a medical expert but sometimes i wonder if certain conditions and health problems are made worse by autism and why meds affect autistic brains drastically different than nt's. doctors have no answers
we must be aliens after all lol

Ive always had trouble making eye contact, but then i lost my hearing 8 and a half years ago so i lipread no matter what.missing out on conversation is usual due to the hearing loss,made worse by Aspergers.

Playing DIY psychiatrist (since I can't afford the real thing), it seems to me...

Being AS in an NT world is stressful.

Stress has a direct impact on physical health.

Therefore, AS, at least via the stress factor, impacts physical health.
