| You sound very similar to me, Mercurial. Especially with prescription or over the counter drugs. Dizzy and depressed. I wondering if Aspergers has something to do with it. I know when I had my silver mercury fillings removed my liver started acting differently. I used to get wired on decaf coffee bu... |

| Hi, Just wanted to know if anyone else did this when they were a kid, or similar things. I always got upset if my mom didn't tie my shoes really tight when I was little. I would wear 2 pairs of socks and tie my laces so tight it hurt. It would drive me nuts to wear loose shoes. I've since, years lat... |

| I'm gonna be blunt, CD84, those people especially the girl who wouldn't acknowledge you, are DOUCHEBAGS! That's their diagnosis. Anyone who would do that to anyone else has serious social skills problems. Really. People say similar things to me. They pick up on a difference but can't put their finge... |

| Well, it was really just one person I think. The main boss lady , Linda is fine. I did call another Dr and ask about FACT and they seem to have an OK standing with her. I think I had a personality conflict with the one lady ... maybe...I was not rude in any way to her, BTW. I made the mistake of tel... |

| They get just as bad when they're older too, I hate to say. I have mostly guy friends because women and girls are too much work... jealous, competitive and petty. The minute a guy comes along they will throw aside friends, pets etc... if he wants them too. Sad! Not all women of course but at least 5... |

| If you are really in a bind and need proof or you can't get any help otherwise go to Ebay and for $50 you can get a pair of sunglasses with a small video camera in them. I had to do that once for a lawsuit I was involved in and it worked like a charm. The guy said all kinds of bad stuff right to my ... |

Thank you! I just found a lady who seems very different and nice on the phone. Only about $500 to get tested so that is much better than the 5K at UCLA.
Her name is Sarita Freedman. I'll let you know how it goes and if I think it was worth it or not.

| I'm not surprised but glad to hear I'm not the only one. I have been to so many Dr's all telling me they had never seen anything like it before and either wanted to give my Psych meds or just say sorry we cant help you. I just found a DR. who lists these things as a common symptom of Aspergers, espe... |

| It's hard to answer your question just based on text and not seeing your posts. People are hard to get to know for anyone except outgoing normal people but especially autistic people because we do put out some kind of "vibe" that is awkward or and insecure. In 6th grade it was a nightmare for me bec... |
