| So you are also talking about coffee and tea as well then? Coca Cola, coffee and tea have no effect on me. It's exactly the same as drinking water. I can have a few cups of coffee in the evening and still fall asleep too early. I seem to be insensitive to drugs in general. But I don't think drug se... |

| I wouldn't think Coca Cola would be any worse for an average ASD human being than an average non-ASD person. Either you're imagining things or there is something that is completely different that causes Coca-Cola to affect you. Any experience Factory? Do you have ASD? If so are you also sensitive t... |
