| I actually had a 3 page note that I took for the first visit for the same reason. I've also come to the realization in recent years that professionals in their respective fields don't necessarily seem to be able to do some aspects of their jobs as well as, say, an Aspie who decides to educate onesel... |

| It helps to hear the positive experiences. The outlook was looking a little bleak but it seems I may not have given it a fair shot. I have the benefit of the psychologist and separate practioner prescribing the medication as far as clinical opinions/expertise so that should offer some benefit. |

| That's good to know. Maybe I just have to bite the bullet a little longer and see what happens before trying a different course. Everything you describe I'm experiencing now. |

| Anybody have experience with SSRIs for anxiety? The mechanism by which these are supposed to work seems more in line with something that would be much more appropriate/helpful than benzos. |

| I'm fairly certain I have ADD or ADHD as well. I'm really not keen on medications anyway and was hesitant to try this. I really don't want to get into a long drawn out science project to see which medication might be more helpful than not. I'm leaning toward telling them stick the pills and I'll dea... |

| I'm hoping to get some others experiences with Clonazepam for comparison. I apologize if this is a repeat post, I tried to dig through existing posts and couldn't find what I'm looking for. I was recently prescribed Clonazepam, initially for help with social anxiety (and other sources of stress in m... |

| i share the desire for the diagnosis. Whether it helps or not, i still want to know. Maybe it's because my epiphany is still relatively fresh or that i'm concerned with having my children diagnosed. i looked up ASDs and MRIs after my last post and found some research that Yale is doing. It looks lik... |

| Other than ending the tortuous uncertainty of having an official diagnosis, has anyone experienced benefits of having an official diagnosis? i'm in the same boat as many in that i'm looking at $2500-3000 for a diagnosis that's not covered by insurance. i'm married with 5 children (at least 2 of whom... |

The ignorance is baffling. i try to love and respect everyone and have always been the odd one out so my frustrations with everyone else were mostly turned inward with the co... |

| i'm a little late to this one but i wanted to share a perspective i've found useful for myself. Maybe it will help others. i've been married for 8 years and have 5 children. Though i'm not a computer person myself i'll use the analogy because it seems that we (those with ASDs) tend to comprehend and... |
