| I have jury duty in two weeks and I'm anxious about it. I want to go, but new things scare me. I also don't have a car and I have to travel over 50 miles to the court house, and no money, which is just stressing me out even more. |

.5-2mg is a single dose of Ativan. 10mg is WAY too much.
Are you sure you don't take Valium instead?

I'm pretty sure my brain is more active than the average person since I see, hear, taste and feel more. |

I'm 26 but people think I'm 19 at the most.
I've been told I have a baby-face, but I suppose I dress younger too. I wear all Hollister Co. clothing. |

I got very sick after taking this drug. I walked into work and was told I looked like a deer in headlights?
I would get up to do something and immediately forget what I was doing. It made me very confused and I felt sick inside.
And it gave me a bad taste in my mouth. YUCK! |

It is my understanding that people who are borderline are as*holes. You do not seem like an as*hole to me.
I am sorry you were diagnosed with those disorders. |

I drink a lot of fluids also and people were worried but I am fine.
I also had issues with not feeling the sensation to urinate, but instead had intense pain in my bladder. It happened once when I was a baby and again a few years ago. I am not sure what this has to do with autism. |

| I attract old and odd people equally. I prefer the old people. They tell me I am wise for my age and I tell them that is because I listen to what they have to say. |

I'm female, but not diagnosed with Asperger's but most likely have that as well as OCD.
I think in pictures and see patterns in many things. And I LOVE science. |

Just today my mother was holding a banana peel while pointing to the garbage-can which I did not understand.
Her favorite line to me- "If it was a snake, it would have bitten you". |
