| Anyone got any tips on coexisting happily with NT housemates? I think they're getting fed up of me hiding away, keeping bizarre hours, not cooking with them etc. One of them knows I get periods of depression and that I have to hide in my cave sometimes, but the other one sort of laughed when I told ... |

| If lots of people are talking to/near me at once I usually go 'AAH!', make a stressed face and ask them to do one at a time, or alternatively I blank out and stim. My close people are used to this now. I can't talk to people with background music on (or even the TV- high pitched electrical noise, wh... |

| I play too :) I've been playing for, ooh, 14 years, but have neglected it a bit since 2nd year performance at university. Baroque's my thing. I'm going to go practise now and annoy my housemate! I spent my teens in a small room with my violin doing the same thing over and over again. Sound familiar?... |

Thank you I was just talking to my mum about it, and she said 'it's such a relief to know you're not just weird'. Er, thanks?  |

| I'm on 60 of citalopram, prescribed for depression/anxiety fun times, and it's wonderful. Got my life back. I get the gut trouble too but it's worth it. It also made me a lot better round people. |

| Absolutely. I get this less so than I used to, and again with me it might be PTSD (I was sexually abused as well). I definitely get 'non-talking' days. It also happened in my teens though, before that happened- I'd go almost catatonic. Now I quite enjoy my non talking days, they're really refreshing. |

| Haha, 31. Last doctor I saw told me that all bright people are a bit nuts (this was at the health centre for a prestigious UK university). Helpful. |

| Hey, I've just joined and wanted to say hello. My university supervisor (who knows me better than almost anyone) has been telling me for years that she thinks I've got aspergers, and recently I've been taking her seriously and looking into it. Turns out me and my dad (and, er, most of my relatives) ... |
