| Are you taking the XR capsules or the standard tablets? The tablets wear off quickly and are not as smooth in their release. I'm taking the tablets, and at a dose of 10 mg. 10mg isn't a big dose. People generally start on a low dose and work their way up after their system gets used to the effects.... |

| It's not friendship, its fear of social rejection. As the posters above me say, they feel less likely to be targeted by taking the bullies side. But if you can show people that you're brave and willing to stand up for yourself, people will start siding with you. As a general rule in the social ladde... |

| Repetitive sounds can make me really angry. especially when they're caused by another person. I just get the urge to shout at them and to tell them to cut it out. It feels like they're doing it just to annoy me personally. Bright lights aren't so great either. I can deal with them, but I hate those ... |

| I don't think success can be measured from income and personal possesions, I think it comes more from being exactly where you want to be in life. I know road sweepers that consider themselves successful, because they're doing what they want to do and it makes them happy. I wouldn't consider myself a... |

| Citalopram made me extremely tired and lethargic. It reduced my concentration, attention span, and dulled my interests. More than a year after stopping the medication I still have problems with initiating and completing tasks as well as poor memory. I beat the worst of my depression by myself (the ... |

I prefer fiction over non-fiction, but I don't know if I would say I enjoy it.
I get involved in fictional stories because it gives me something to do as its impossible to do nothing at all. |

I don't know any other aspies from where i'm from either, so i feel quite alone all the time. I just get a sense that I can't fully trust somebody who is NT. I guess when i'm in a crowd ... |

Serious question.
Do you ever experience a general sense of "evil" when around NT'ers?
I know its probably wrong, but I can't help shake this gut feeling that I just can't trust anybody who is an NT.  |
