Hello everyone,
I guess I have to say some stuff about myself:
- I was diagnosed with AS 5 years ago. My parents knew I was different as soon as I went to preschool. I saw so many doctors, none of them understood/helped us. For a while my family could not bear me and kept me under some control with Risperdal. I was misdiagnosed as ADHD when I visited a Parisian hospital, they prescribed me Ritalin which made me ultra-good at school but made me very aggressive and insomniac. Shortly after that we saw a new doctor from the place we had recently moved in, he discontinued the ritalin and told my family I probably had AS. They looked it up online and saw that was indeed what I had. I had to see another doctor in France (One who believes in AS unlike many in France who see most of the spectrum as 'childhood psychosis') to get an evaluation and tests to get the proper diagnosis.
- I have traveled a lot.
- I have just got married.
- I think humanity is running into a wall with its very short-term consideration of maximum profit for companies and shareholders, instead of the long-term consideration of the 'economy' (in the original meaning of the word) of the world: using less resources, producing locally to sell locally, ecology in general, working together instead of against each other in pointless wars ... Our planet has gave us so much to boost our technological progress, but she is becoming a trashcan. I would consider myself lucky if I die of natural age today instead of carcinogen-filled air, pesticide-polluted food or a global atomic war.
- BeGau means baby bear.
- I am usually friendly, but I have problems with anger management IRL that I really need to deal with.
I hope that's enough.
What is the appropriate subforum to post about the aforementioned issue to ask for advice?
Thank you
