    It sounds like most of us have been going through the same things - doubting ourselves, being misdiagnosed, suffering from ADD, prescribed meds to see if they treat some of the symptoms. It looks like we are all intelligent, and very creative in our thinking. I loved reading all of the posts...

    She might be from what my mom thinks. We are trying to sort this all out and wanting to see where it originated and have been reading about it over the past year or so. It is very overwhelming for us and the clinicians do not have enough info and are not quite as informed as they need to be...

    I have to hit the books and study Property, Casualty and Liability to sit for an exam, but will check my emails for alerts from aspiecentral.com. Peace out, Meg

    So you are a Libra? I am as well and will be 49 on Monday the 5th. My sister will be 46 next Saturday the 3rd. Happy Birthday. Libras are great people if I say so myself.

    It is almost impossible to get a proper diagnosis from practitioners. They like to label the symptoms we exhibit as Bi-Polar Lite, ADD/ADHD, Depression, Social Anxiety BLAH BLAH BLAH. There needs to be much more research done in this area.

    It seems the more I read about HFA and talk with clinicians about, the more I discover how little doctors and practitioners know about Asbergers and PSS - NOS. How do you feel about that?

    Do you have a list of things that you do well in? I am sure you have a lot of fabulous gifts and strengths. I know you are intelligent, creative and feel you are open-minded and a deep thinker.

    That sounds wonderful. Did you diagnose yourself as having High Functioning Autism or did a clinician do so? I diagnosed myself and was told by a relative that my daughter exhibits HFA. Her son was diagnosed with HFA and I have been doing a lot of reading and research on this topic. It seems...

    I have been chatty like you guys as well, but was the opposite up until I was 30 years old. How about you guys, have you always been expanding upon your ideas with others besides your family and close friends since you were young?

    I am sorry to hear that you underwent bullying and abuse from your colleagues and lost your job after 8 years. I hope you receive long-term disability this go-around. You can still work part-time and receive up to a certain amount of moolah while receiving SSI. What kinds of things do you...
