    Birthday Depression

    Happy birthday, don't feel down too long, you are not alone in suffering around birthday times like this - I have done for a number of years, I think it may come with age, but when I look back, to be honest it was always like this. I am personally putting it down in my long list of attributes...

    Work - next steps

    Ok thanks. I am working towards a new role. Whilst in the past i am great on interviews i am constantly fighting my desire to tell 100% of the truth rather than sell myself.

    Ten positive traits of autism

    Mia, all of those traits are so true for me, thank you for this, especially number 7 - whilst I can verbalise what I see, i have difficulty in understanding what people mean unless we draw a picture, words just stress me. I am quite stressed today, I have reached the end of my diagram, my...

    Clear your head, empty your mind???

    What about a project with great depth, pour your heart and soul into it ? Doesn't matter what it is, as long as you get some value from it. I question why people would want to switch this thing off, unless it was causing incredible distress, it is a thing of beauty. Yes I get so tired sometimes...

    I don't trust people or life again.

    I understand and get you. There are so many people in the real world, -seemingly normal-who lack respect in places where more respect is cared for and it irks me. I have myself to try and remember they do not feel as spiked by their behaviour as I do. As i learn more about my condition I start...

    Lactobacillus reuteri and probiotics

    Oxytocin is a peptide molecule so the spray cannot cross the blood/brain barrier evidently. Busparine subscriptions I believe are predicated on confirmation of depression but it does seem an interesting line of investigation. Will definitely give fenugreek a go. Thanks

    Lactobacillus reuteri and probiotics

    Thanks, @Fino, in response, that's correct - I did tap this question out too quickly - it is the production of oxytocin in neurotypicals that I seek in order to alleviate the symptoms of autism, especially under stress conditions. Regarding the nasal spray, I have looked at this and that is an...
