My relationship with my brother is somewhat different, he knows all about my dx of AS as I kept him informed all along and he sort of accepts the lable, but...

Martha, What you wrote is very interesting. I am a practical nurse and actually I want to find out if I am AS so that I can quit having people act like I am...
Beth, Inderal (propranolol) helps familial tremors, it also helps with anxiety and rage. Children can take it in low doses. It does cause low blood pressure so...
... I also believe strongly that my brother is AS, but the sheer fact that he is even less social than ME makes it difficult to speak to him! He is married and...
What irritates me, is it is so much easier for a male adult to get a diagnoses than a female adult. I think that the mental health society really thinks there...
Hi all! We have our first new member of the New Year! Woo Hoo! (Not that it necessarily means anything - just thought I would throw that in. <g>) Everyone...
Hi Teena, Thank you for the information. We have discussed medication for familial tremors with her doctor. Unfortunately, the medications, including Inderal...

Hi, Nanette, I've got a 12YO Aspie. He's in a regular junior high school, with some support services. ... Well, of course, you know your child best. But...
Beth, That is right. Sorry to hear that you all have asthma. I use an inhaler occasionally, they just told me never use them together or within so many hours...
I haven't been diagnosed yet. But after going to college for the last 3 years (I am 43) I think it would have been nice to be diagnosed. Mostly because people...
... <snip> Not really related, but that comment reminded me of a statement in a book I am reading right now: "The computer programming field is like a...
Well I managed to ring up my brother today and spoke to him for the first time since before Christmas. I monologued him, more like data transfer by modem than...
Well I'm not quite in your age bracket but getting there. The fact of history states the impossibility of having being diagnosed much earlier but I would...
It was Tony Atwood who first said that he considered Universities a kind of sheltered workshop for Aspies, I guess ms McCrumb picked it up from there. Actually...
I don't know, I know of another AS male that had the same problem in school. He even had his teacher sending pupils to him and found it quite annoying. I found...
Well, I'm not in your age bracket but I thought I would respond anyway. I'm sixteen and was diagnosed with Asperger's at fifteen by my psychologist after...

I could be able to take it in a different room if my school had a room without fluorescent lighting, I very well might be able to choose where I sit instead of...
My question actually is for those in my age bracket. Would you have preferred being diagnosed as a teenager? I am 38, self-diagnosed AS/PDD-NOS. The...
Hello again In some ways, I got off very lightly as a young Aspie. My school was mostly attended by middle class kids. I did get bullied, but not all the...
... I finally decided to jump in on this string. I am not quite 50 either - but awfully close (45YO). I have often wondered what it would have been like if, on...
