Hello!

I’m a self diagnosed Aspie who had been suffering quite hard for several years before a person close to me pointed out the possibility of Aspergers. What convinced me was that several of my symptoms could be highly improved by nutrients and some amino acids that were recommended at several resources. My main problems were:

* Severe problems with eye contact. Either I managed to ‘stare down’ people or I had huge problem with meeting their gaze. I got these moments when my eyes would meet the other person’s eyes and I’d feel anxiety and my eyes would actually visibly widen when this happened - much to my distress. When I read about aspie’s problems with fight/flight response, everything fell into place.

* Anxiety – The week before I had to make a presentation was pure hell. Even introducing myself to a group – waiting for my turn – was painful. If my voice trembled that was such a loss of face… If I came into slightest conflict with someone my initial rage and then anxiety would be completely disproportionate. Today I have no problem making presentation for large audiences.

* Social incompetence – I have a strong drive to be sociable but I was always getting into trouble with people because of being rather clueless how my own behaviour hurt or provoked others. I’m much better today, but I still make mistakes or unintentionally hurt people.

There’s more but this is enough for an intro. Anyway, I’m glad to have found my way here and life’s become easier both because of the pills I pop (no medicine, just nutrients) and that I now know why I am like I am.
