I started by showing them a video of a female stunt pilot. I'm a licenced airplane mechanic so I thought it would be kind of fun and different for th... |

| I'm 53 and so far my AS has been an unknown nusense. Since self diagnosis from several tests on this site and a few others here and there most of my struggles now make some sense.

| Been thinking about self diagnosis for myself as an adult with AS. I came up with a few other issues I've come across where self diagnosis has worked for me. Run to the bathroom every 1/2 hour sit with a bucket on my lap. Can't take it anymore so I go to the dr. He says, "Yep you're sick. It's a vir... |

| Does anyone else hate having stuff in your hair. Every time I have to get my hair cut they always put 'stuff' in it. The stylist always promises it won't feel sticky. I always go straight home and take a shower to wash the sticky stuff out of my hair. Can't stand anything in my hair. Anyone else? |
