| This appears to be a huge issue for ASD. My family doesn't understand the extent to which I feel overstimulated by sensory issues. I'm particularly sensitive to sound. Many people can listen to the radio all day, but I can only listen to the shows that interest me (same for TV). I blog about this is... |

| Has anyone read a good book on gluten-free diets? Right now I'm paging through "The ADHD/Autism Diet" by Barrie Silberberg. This is the first time I've read about or tried this diet, but I feel like it's a good idea. Anxiety causes major problems in my life. People get weirded out because I look ten... |

| Hi there, I had heard of Aspergers, and I knew things weren't quite "normal" with my 3 yo, but I guess I wasn't actually expecting a diagnosis when we went to the specialist this morning. I thought I was just being another crazy helicopter parent, spending money to be reassured that he's fine. So n... |

| Hello. I just joined, but I've been reading the forums for a couple of weeks. I guess I should give a little background on myself... I've always been socially awkward, though that has improved somewhat over time. I'm still uncomfortable in social situations when I meet new people. My biggest issue ... |

| I am 34 weeks pregnant. My husband and I are both probably AS (self diagnosed). I read somewhere that it's almost a sure bet that our daughter will have Asperger's. Does anyone else here have kids? Are your kids Aspies too? How is the baby doing now? I agree that the chances are high, but it sounds... |

One of them sent me a reply thanking ME. I'm still waiting to hear bac... |

| Here's a definition. <- I have it. Do any of you other musicians have it too? I have relative pitch. That is, I can't identify names of notes, but I can match pitches and tell whether or not something is in tune. If it's not in tune, it bugs me in an OCD way. I play a stringed instrument, and somet... |

| A groundbreaking study suggests people with autism-spectrum disorders such as Asperger's do not lack empathy – rather, they feel others' emotions too intensely to cope. People with Asperger's syndrome, a high functioning form of autism, are often stereotyped as distant loners or robotic geeks. But ... |

Like you I was into dieting in high school, which I now regret. There are foods that don't promote PMS symptoms. I... |

I have NLD and the following are so-called nonverbal things I heard of people with NLD doing well (or without serious trouble): -playing a musical instrument -having a few frie... |
