| I suspect I have it, even my primary care doctor and psychiatrist think so. I have many issues with temperature, textures of clothes and food, lights, sounds etc... I even sleep with a weighted blanket. Although, I'm not on the spectrum I can relate a lot to those who are because of my sensory quirk... |

| If a boss point blank asks you to disclose you don't have to answer, they are in direct violation of your health privacy under HIPPA. That being said, while I am not officially diagnosed as being on the spectrum (though I suspect I am), I do have many anxiety disorders and suffer from bouts of depre... |

Anyone here from that area, who can perhaps give me some insight into places to visit in order to make friends? My husband and I move, the 10th of October and I am struggling with the anxiety and sadness of leaving behind familiar places and settings.  |

| I do the same, at the moment I'm obsessed with imagining living in the distant future like the year 3000. I picture this in my mind, than try to construct a lucid dream from it. Of course there are hints of sci-fi mixed in, like me having telekinesis or something. |

| Once you start setting up you can set up a room that feels familiar. It help a lot when you move and put up heavy curtains in that room. Ask some one who went to 8 different schools by tenth grade. Good tip! And wow 8?! That must have been awful... :( Yeah, for me my calming room is the one that my... |

| You will notice early effects like you noted so it is not your imagination, after all you introduced a chemical to your body. When I first began taking Paxil I noticed the first day I was mellow, because in contrast I had spent the three years leading up to that panicking constantly 24/7. As far as ... |

| I too have intrusive thoughts and do have mild OCD according to my therapist. To me a thought is intrusive when it constantly pops into your head regularly and you find it distracting. If you find yourself overanalyzing and obsessing about the thought then it turns into a compulsion. |
