    Does depression make you take longer to read things?

    Give it time......a moment will present itself when the depression lifts (if even slightly) then pow! you can rip into it..... I've had such moments in the past month. I've never been so excited to be able to concentrate (it's like a novelty hehe).

    Obsessive Interests Out of Control?

    Well my ability to manage my time and how I use it (ie the balance of those obsessive interests against the boring but necessary daily chores) is rather failure-prone. I'm not sure if that's what you mean.... In terms of dealing with it, I suggest the Pleasure/Pain principal needs to be...

    Does depression make you take longer to read things?

    I too have found that whilst in a depressive episode my ability to read is absolutely killed. I can't pick up any decent book and devour it, and trying to digest all that meaning which the bible contains is near impossible!

    Unsocial autistic people -- myths and reality

    Like I said, if someone knows I'm an aspie I simply cannot trust any supposed acceptance that comes afterwards and therefore there is no scope for a friendship. My "social situations" to use your wording are that the friends I do get are incredibly loving, tolerant (AWESOME!) people whom I...

    Unsocial autistic people -- myths and reality

    My teen years were a disaster, and I'm playing catchup in my 20s - so my advice is not something you would visit the bulk bins for....

    Unsocial autistic people -- myths and reality

    MommaBriggs, I don't like to be "put" into social situations rather I prefer to ease my way into them. I suspect you are trying to use my response to make decisions for your own son - and I therefore would like to stress that my feelings are obviously based upon the autonomy of a 21-year old...

    Unsocial autistic people -- myths and reality

    For me, it's not a case of wanting to be alone - it's just that I can't seem to connect with people, my socializing is like being thirsty and having a drink only to find you are just as thirsty. If I'm alone and engage in something of interest then there's a feeling of purpose and satisfaction...

    Autism partially curable

    You have already admitted that autism gives you struggles. Regardless of what title would then be applied to something that is promoting struggles - it is in the interests of a compassionate humanity to try and remove those struggles as we do with everything and anything. You seem to be saying...

    Looking for a micacle stories on Autism...

    God can cure *anything* and *everything*. If the spirit is encouraging you to pray for healing of this child's afflictions then do so. There should be no such looking to see if God can do it or has done it, of course he can do it but is it his will or are his plans of a different sort? This...

    Autism partially curable

    I am very sad that you would object to preventing a baby or child from being hindered by Autism. God allowed disease to happen after the fall, so should doctors have not bothered curing anything because after all God allowed it so it must be endured at all costs? Do you see how this thinking...

    Purpose and Cause of Aspergers

    Do you realise that the question makes no sense? If someone is struggling with an affliction are they not also having an affliction? Struggles in the wider sense tend be be periodic and non-repetative, so this is why people that "sometimes struggle" (without adding any further detail or...

    Autism partially curable

    drifter5 said: Okay so you admit there are difficulties, struggles - and so this therefore allows your Autistic disorder to fall under the word affliction. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=affliction Autism is an affliction. Stop trying to beat around the bush or candy coat it. But...

    do u think aspies are useless?

    When you exist in a society, there are expectations, responsibilities, rules etc. Now if you struggle to obey some of those, at least in the context of Autism there is a sympathetic element which will tolerate you but the idea of having an attitude that says you will not even bother to try to...

    Purpose and Cause of Aspergers

    Tell me something, are there struggles you have, inabilities or impairments you face that fall under the umbrella of Autism? Because if the answer is Yes then you are contradicting yourself, and if the answer is No then you simply don't have Autism. I do suspect you are playing a semantics...

    My view on "Aspergers Syndrome"

    The majority of my teachers didn't like me, and I had some of the aforementioned problems. I treasured the few teachers that tolerated, understood me and gave a damn about my learning. If the teacher cannot be enlightened it might be best to change classes/schools/planets
