    Are you intolerant of high summer heat? How does it affect you?

Lots of random chatter/too much chatter at once coming in at once (even if its only my mother babbling about her laptop and my sister telling me about something with hers at the same time) or sudden shrill noises.

    More prone to complain?

    Not just you, described me in a nutshell, and it has nothing to do with just a victim complex either. Would prefer to go by my own (weak) strength but alas.... it's not enough.... yet. :)

    Anyone has Temporal Lobe epilepsy, complicated migraines, temporal lobe dysfunction?

    Re: Anyone has Temporal Lobe epilepsy, complicated migraines, temporal lobe dysfuncti I ran across this while googling in my own research. I have it and PDD-NOS. Most docs also incorrectly treat with aed's. Which stupify me horribly and I don't want to be slowed down as well, it horrifies me...
