I found an agency 2 hours away from my hometown and booked an appointment. My appointment lasted about... |

| I would love to look and feel beautiful but I have such a hard time with new clothes. They feel so stiff and itchy. Most of my clothes have to be made of really soft fabrics, and washed a few times in fabric softener before I can wear them. A lot of my clothes I have had for years. I love to shop, b... |

| I live in Canada and am on disability. I have aspergers. But at the time of me applying for disability I wasn't diagnosed. My main reason for disability was because I also have Tourette syndrome and OCD. So maybe if you have aspergers plus another condition it might make it a bit easier. A lot of pe... |

| I am on Prozac. I am currently on 60 mg. I have been on prozac for the last 17 years. I am 24 years old by the way. Some days I feel like it's doing nothing for me, and others I feel like I couldn't function without it. |

| I have all three of these disorders. During my assessment for Aspergers, I was also tested for OCD. Apparently my OCD scores were so high, that I was given a seperate diagnosis. I was diagnosed with Tourettes at age 10. |

| I enjoy shopping, and feel good in clothes in the dressing room, but once I get it home it just sits in my closet. The majority of clothes in closet haven't been touched in months. I always rely on my stretchy pants, soft capris, and t-shirts. |
