| Hello everyone! I am not sure if this is the appropriate place for this discussion, but I really need help. I have no idea what is wrong with me because I don't have insurance. I was diagnosed with ADHD in high school. Several people on here have also mentioned that some of my exam results correlate... |

| Hey! I know this is really gross, but I'm a skin/scalp picker. I have to stop for social reasons. I googled it, and most websites say that it is a form of self-mutilation. However, for me it feels good. ANY strong sensation on my scalp feels good. I used to shave my head and I would have people run ... |

| Hey everyone! Is anyone else here "emotionally apathetic"? There probably is a proper term for this, but I am not familiar with it. One thing that I have noticed is that "normal" people are a lot more emotional than I am. They get upset so easily (from my perspective). They find ... |

| Damn! No caffeine? I drink like 3-4 cups a day. I was diagnosed with ADD in high school. I am skeptical of the diagnosis, but here is what I do to keep on task. I am a graduate student by the way. 1. Okay, "normal" people can think about multiple tasks at once. I can't. I do things one at ... |

| Or at least I don't connect with many who are here, judging by the relative lack of replies I get. I thought I at least had Aspergic traits but the evidence would suggest I am wrong. Our minds are extremely complex. That is what makes us such smart, interesting creatures. However, this also means t... |

| I used to chalk everything up to homophobia. However, I now work with other LGBT people and they don't have these problems. Do you get along with them ok, or are the same interpersonal issues present? If the issues remain, then it may be something to work on. If you're comfortable doing so, it may ... |

| Greetings. So just by reading the first two or three paragraphs, the first thing that comes to my mind is non-verbal learning disorder (NvLD). Many people with Aspergers have this also. 80% of people with Aspergers were found to have NvLD according to one study. You report having a high verbal IQ o... |

| Hello everyone, I am really sorry about this. I know how uncool it is to bother people on the internet. I want to go get my diagnosis checked again, but no psychologist in my area will do it for less than $2000. None of them will take insurance either! I am a graduate student. I don't have that kind... |
