Ghosthunter, I come from Australia. It's pretty
good and the thing that strikes me about a lot
of these threads is how much harder it seems
for people in other countries such as the USA,
especially with regard to work, school and
discrimination.
Hows that?

If you don't mind me asking! What were the
things that lead to these diagnoseses?

It took ages to get a proper diagnosis and even now
a lot of people I deal with don't believe it -
I assume your referring to AS?
What is it that you do that makes you
suspect AS?
What was it that you did that lead to this
suspicion?
Under what circumstances did these symptoms
happen that make it a AS standard?

they seem to think medication and social retraining is
all I need.
Hmmmmm? What kind of meds?
Hmmmm? What kind of retraining?
Hmmmmm? I suspect that you had a job that
was related to your college degree, then came
retraining! Am I correct?
