| For me, it's been difficult to tell. My gluten-intolerance became more pronounced about a year ago, along with several other health issues, around the same time I realized I had Asperger's, and experienced a difficult break-up. I definitely feel less focused, less passionate/motivated, less organize... |

| I'm not sure that I felt different from everyone else, but I was painfully conscious of the fact that I didn't quite fit it. Communication/social skills were especially difficult, and I spent a lot of time frustrated (and my mother as well) that I could not overcome my "shyness" and just talk to peo... |

| I can sort of understand the NT impulse to reject our assertions that we have an invisible disability. We all know that it's real, and many doctors and other experts are also understanding, but I can see how it would sound incredible to someone with no experience with it. Verbally explaining it doe... |

| Skip the soy milk. I don't know what the price of nuts are in CR, but if you have a blender, making nut milk is super easy, and you can use nearly any variety. I use hazelnut, my mum uses almond, and one of my friends uses pecan. Soak 1/2c nuts overnight, blend until very smooth, strain through a nu... |

| I got turned onto the vegan diet by my good friend 2 months ago shortly after cutting out all those dirty dairy products from my diet. I can attest to the following symptoms in this short timespan: - Increased energy and motivation. - Increased resistance to illnesses and allergies - Acne that has ... |

| Two factors come immediately to mind: Stimulus and Diet. Visiting my family stresses me out, especially around the holidays. I have three young (and therefore high-energy) siblings, an extroverted older sister, and a mother whose demeanor is "a little on the abrasive side." At least two people are t... |

| I sympathize with the cat (daydreamer84). Granted, every career end (but one) has an explanation: seasonal, temporary contract, relocation, et al. Now that I've begun to learn more about how my brain operates, what I enjoy, and what is a suitable work environment, the possibilities seem to be consid... |
