| I heard that dihydrogen monoxide consumption during pregnancy is correlated with autism.

That's interesting - however it would also suggest that there is a higher rate of Autism in countries with lower levels of access to health care, and ... |

| My son was on stimulant medications and was notably calmer when taking them. We did a blind run without his teachers knowing and they actually asked what we were doing differently because he was so much calmer in class. I suspect that if people were acting "hyped up" on them, perhaps it was the wro... |

He isnt too bothered with Aspergers as it is getting removed from DSM-V anyway and says that ASD covers it. He did put me onto dexamphetamine to control the ADD side of it, 5mg tablets taken a... |

| I guess the old saying 'birds of a feather' comes to mind... Us Aspies are cut from a different cloth and its hard to make and keep friendships - some people can be very uneasy, even phobic around those who are different to them and even though we want to appear the same, we are not.

Here is Australia they tend to underplay things - I don't know if they are worried ... |

Perhaps that would be a neutral starting place, for both of you to learn more about each other's issues. Yes I spent almost... |
