| I have a firm belief that everyone, diagnosed or otherwise, should get the accomodations they need in order to be able to complete their studies, no more, no less. In cases where there is a diagnosis, there should be accomodations ONLY if needed. I do NOT think you should be put in a special class j... |

| I have been down this road myself for a while now, and I figured that the best way for me to be in control of my feelings is to analyse them logically. The key question is "Why?". Why did they look at me funny? Why did it make me feel uncomfortable? What kind of feeling was it? Does it mat... |

| I often find it extremely difficult to write about a subject that someone else has given me, probably because without personal interest in the subject I have no frame of reference to draw from at all. Both my mother and my little brother also have the same problem. I think my mother is somewhat auti... |

| I agree with those who advice that you should get rid of this friend. Although I also want to give an answer to the original question, since I think that could be helpful to others in similiar situations. I don't think, in this case, that explaining autism to the ignorant person is the best way to s... |

| I think it's about time people start to see autism for what it really is; a diagnosis containing a variety of symptom, all of which have their own neurological and/or physiological causes. From what I can see, most, if not all autistic symptoms derive from mental or physical stress, in one way or an... |

| I actually did not care very much for Tony Attwood's book, but I know that a lot of people here like it very much. I find that he focuses too much on children, and doesn't take into account the problems of autistic adults. For me it was basically a guide to understand how most professionals view aut... |

| you may be hyperventilating, which causes tingling sensations. try breathing much more slowly when you breath deeply. That's not what causes the problem. What I'm feeling is the stretching and contracting of the diaphragm as I'm breathing in and out, and sometimes i feel it so much that I can't tak... |

| I just started doing mediyoga (based on hatha yoga, but prescribed by a "professional"), and I'm supposed to do a certain routine every day for 40 days. The thing is I've encountered a problem when it comes to deep breathing (which is the most important part). I also encountered the same problem whe... |

| It's not easy to deal with the situation, snufkin. He is the boss of the company and she is in a similar field but does not work with us. She knows about his roving eye and is extremely insecure so she hangs out around his work a lot. The truth is he is a wimp because in making sure that she does n... |

| This is irrelevant. The problem is how he treats me (and some other colleagues) due to her insecurity. HE is the perpetrator, not her. Example: If you have an ugly girlfriend and a beautiful woman talks to you, the ugly woman feels insecure and threatens him at home that if she sees him talking to ... |

| Ummm, you speak with authority as if you know his history and mine. The truth is, you don't know any of it and it is a waste to give a man like you the whole story. Of course I don't, and in the same way you don't know enough about me to know what kind of man I am (or if I am a man at all). That's ... |

| I called him out on his behavior which has been going on for over a year. I basically wrote that he was a wimp who couldn't stand up to an insignificant woman in our workplace who is disliked by other colleagues for being a moron. He basically does what she says most of the time, to the detriment o... |

| Yeah, I've got all of them. Number one is probably the worst. I think it is because when a certain time is agreed upon I plan to be ready by that time. Also, because I suck att planning stuff I always have to count in a margin of error. Usally I get ready too quick (but I still need the margin, beca... |

Also have chest pains most of the time, due to both excessive stress and digestive problems. Most of it is ... |

I have often felt guilt when failing to do what is expected of me, but I have mostly solved that by realizing that people's expectations are too high (they e... |

| I think the intensity of the hobby/interest is often relative to the amount of stress (often psychological, but also physical) one is experiencing. As people with ASD often have sensory issues and communication problems, they often experience huge amounts of stress in their everyday lives. I think t... |
