| My boyfriend has tourettes, and he can control it to a certain extent. So you maybe could have tourettes, maybe go speak to your doctor about it? |

| I have both paranoid schizophrenia and aspergers. And really getting these diagnoses has helped a lot- it means any psychology and pharmacology treatments that I am getting are appropriate to my needs.Just remember though that the diagnoses are just words, and they don't define you as a person. |

| That sounds really tough to deal with. I think you wouldn't be able to tell anything from an fMRI though, as you only see when areas of the brain are being used - for example imagining playing tennis would light up a different zone of the brain to imagining talking to someone. It's good you're in co... |

| I would definitely agree with that. One of my old uni councellers told me not to talk about my schizophrenia hallucinations or delusions unless I was currently having trouble with them |

| I am always in fear of slipping into psychosis. I think the thing is though to try and not worry about it too much, because the more you think about it- the more likely it is to happen. Or at least that is what I think. |

| You could try the Scouts? Either volunteering, or joining a Network group if you are young enough (18-25). I joined as a leader in a Beaver group and it has given me a new circle of friends. Scouts tends to have the whole range of ages volunteering with them and so it isn't only older people like so... |

| Hi all, Thought I would post an update to things: I have been talking to my old friends today, and everything is fine. I think my brain just blew things out of proportion and jumped to the worst case scenario. We are chatting again like friends and they don't seem to have minded that I didn't talk t... |

| after several years of their silence, I adopted a new life rule for myself: If, after a year of being ignored by a person in my life, I would delete the person from my contact list and stop communicating, too.. I would agree with you on the loyalty front, I think also aspies have a tendency to put ... |

| Perhaps you could renew contact by making the first text or e-mail a quick explanation about what happened? ... . I think that's a good idea really. I think I am just a bit nervous of being rejected, or people talking about me badly. I will give your idea a shot though I think, maybe set aside am e... |

| Well if they didn't return in kind the message on your birthday when you sent them a message for their birthday, then what kind of friends are those? A true friend would have understood that it wasn't personal and not taken it that way that you stopped talking with them, that it was due to illness.... |

| I am after some advice about friendships. Back story: until April I was at uni (first year), but had to come home after about a semester of being really ill. My first semester I made some good friends through joining the uni judo club. However during my second semester I kind of fell off the social ... |

| Hi Emma! It took a while for me to be diagnosed also. I think it is also a problem being female because Autism is traditionally seen as a male disorder. Which I find quite frustrating, though the book 'Aspergirls' was very insightful. I would recommend reading more into it, because you really can le... |

| It is an interesting theory I will admit. Mental illnesses are all relative to the time and society from which the person comes from. For example being homosexual was until fairly recently (relatively speaking) classes as a mental illness. When it comes to schizophrenia, a prerequisite of being diag... |
