| Mostly it's lyrics embodied in music for me (nothing high-toned for me, I'm a Stones fan). I can hold Jagger and Richards in the palm of my mind, and sometimes, when I'm mentally more robust Beethoven and Mozart, but much more often I've got to listen to the music of the ill, what can I say? But lit... |

| It's been raining, maybe thundering and lightning: beautiful. Then the sun comes out, the temperature goes up about 20 degrees, the relative humidity about 50 percent. That's the worst thing in the world. IMNot-So-HumbleOpinion. |

| I'm too ignorant to know what Sensory Integration is. I'm no help to you at all, but can you fill me in? Thanks. Aenig. |

| You're not irrational. Some folks (not just so-call "neurotypicals" (I hate all nicknames like that but hey it's precise)) are very slipshod about things like your boyfriend was, others aren't. I'm not consistent one way or the other. I'd say don't judge the guy too harshly but far more importantly-... |

| Thanks, ViperaAspis and Ancalagon -- I'll not be discussing religion here anymore. Talking about what was currently bothering you seemed like one way, judgding from other first-timers here, of saying hi. And frankly it's hard for me not to rant about what's currently bothering me. That's all. Vip.--... |

| Thanks, Johnaster, richie and JetLag. I mean it. Re religion, I'm still Catholic, at least more than I'm anything else, only for the first time since my conversion I can't honestly say I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic church. At least not in the sense I used to mean it. I'm currently v... |

| I'm a diagnosed Asp, 45 years old, husband of a non-Asp woman for 23 years, father of 5, diagnosed when 43, a reluctant citizen of the US (are there any better countries out there?). Right now, I've got problems with severe and frequent migraines and with depression. Bah--enough of that. I'll save s... |

| Hi -- well, nobody can diagnose you over the web. Here's my $0.02 worth: Who knows if you have AS? Doesn't matter compared to the magnitude of your difficulties. Which you need to get under control. Right now, the only "psycho-active" meds I'm on are clonazepam (AKA, in the US, Klonopin), a valium-l... |
