According the D.A.N.! researchers and doctors many neurological problems come from a metabolic function not working properly and releasing in the blood flow, peptides that damage some brain areas.

Somedays are worse than others. Today was a bad day. I went through a period of intense stimming as I could not settle my b... |

Incidentally, I also took the "mind in the eyes" test and scored 26, which is apparently as average as you can get.
Reading the mind in the eyes : I got 26, too ! !
Quite interesting to do. |

Absolutely yes! It is OCD, but along with my social difficulties, it can make at least "traits of asperger". Moreover my son is PDD. It can't be a case... |

I knew everything about the political parties, the politicians, internal issues and foreign affairs. I had my own ideas. I was the only one in my elementary school to write homeworks about po... |

| Hi Arashi, I'm from Italy and I'm living exactly your situation. I found out I may have asperger traits "thanks" to my son PDD diagnosis. Actually I felt relaxed understanding better myself. I don't know if for you was the same. On the other hand now I'm just totally focused on my son, and I found q... |

| My son is PDD and he got 7 at the Apgar test, that is not very high but I'm sure the actual result should have been even lower and it was disguised by the doctors to avoid possible future troubles. Indeed I was there and I remember that my son did'nt cry for very long minutes and he was yellowish. H... |

Yes, I agree with the most of you: though I know how to keep a conversation even in difficult situations (people I don't know or I've not been seeing for a long tine) I don't like answering at the phone: it is still a big stress for me. I have two systems to "protect" myself: at ho... |

| When I join a conversation it is mostly for social convenience (I'm sitting with other people or I'm in a group). I know it is not a good thing to be silent in a corner so I "have to" say something. But my real feeling is that what I could say is not interesting for other people, even if I know that... |
