I want an NT pill

QFT

One of the main reasons we get bullied (yes yes I know some stim and have odd mannerisms which are the target of bullies, but many with ASD's do not and I think it is almost universal that we get bullied)

With regard to SSRI's they control the anxiety caused by ASD and some of the often associated OCD. But in my case they certainly do not help me understand social situations, I also don't think that they have had a moderating affect on meltdowns. They do help me cope but be warned, I tried to get off them and the withdrawals were horrific, plus the OCD and anx returned so I went back on them.

@ the OP hope you find that pill, I'm looking for one as well

Ok, I'm clueless... what does QFT stand for?

in one's own infallible reason, having witnessed "QFT" in context, i have deduced this to mean, Quoted for truth.. or quite f***king true m'lady

An NT pill would probably cure the motor clumsiness (so my poor choreography skills would finally stop holding me back in music and drama) and executive functioning (so I could finally stand on my own two feet and do all my own organization without constantly needing help, and not struggle with essay structure all the time) and the excessive stress and anxiety that goes with AS (which would be HEAVEN). Not to mention the improvement in empathy (not saying aspies don't care, but we find it hard to connect emotionally in the right ways because we can't read people) and social skills.

Yeah, it's very tempting. But I would be afraid to take one in case it took away my imagination and creativity and unusual perspective on things.

OH NO! Fudo, I do believe there's one too many asterisks in your f***king... there should only be two! I'll just pretend it was a typo...

I had kinda figured QFT was the latter, but the use of 'quite' just seemed so... British.

I got 5 nt brothers and pills anyone interested

What do you all mean by saying that your NT brothers or sisters are an NT "pill"? Is it some kind of slang expression?

Calling someone a "pill" I believe is like saying they're a pain in the ass.

Anyway, SSRI's don't quite do it for me or my AS BF. I'm on 2. He's on 1. He swears meds "cured" his autism, but an autism specialist reviewed him recently and said his presentation is still AS. I see him every day and he still seems very AS. But, what he means is that he can communicate with people now, whereas before, he was pretty much non-verbal and did not understand conversation.

I think SSRI's hae helped me a lot, but not fully, of course. I also take anti-anxiety meds and bipolar meds. I'm a LOT better off now, but I will always be an aspie.

Or a bit of a pest... in an affectionate sort of way. Pretty mild statement of being annoyed with someone... like pilling on a sweater. Of course, nasty tone of voice can make it much more severe.

Thanks Whitetiger, that makes sense. Slang expressions in another language than one's own can be a challenge sometimes, but also fun.

Thanks for that explanation too.
