Does anybody have autisium??? Conversation thread...

[excuzzzeme]

Since part of my diagnosis is homicidal/suicidal I am on some great meds that keep me fairly balanced. When I get off on my meds I never am aware of it or how much I change as a result of it. If anything, initially my wife picks up on it and I never do. As much as I detest chemical controls, sometimes there is no other viable alternative.

Thanks everyone for sharing.

I can faintly remember in elementary school(5-6 grade)I shared a classroom with a kid who had autism.He always had some kind of supervisor with him.He took a few normal classes,but some he had to go to a seperate teacher.He had trouble communicating in social situations.However,I always tried to help him out.Sometimes my friends and I would ask him to come join or group or whatever.He liked talking about homework and history.I think he was a great kid,and I support anyone else with autism/disabilities.

My brother has Ashbergers or however you say it.

Whats so bad about it is, most people dont realize he has a problem. They just think he is weird. It makes it hard for him to make friends. Also like said previously, every little thing said to him about, rather its literal or not, is a BIG deal and he takes it to heart. There is no joking and teasing him with out him getting very upset.

On top of it, depression and anxiety are associated with this disorder. He has been my brother for 21 years and I still cant imagine how tough it is.

I am the polar opposite. I'm comfortable meeting new people and in crowds. I have no problems making new friends or completely ignoring people that dont like me.
