| That's a great achievement. I'll be totally honest and upfront here. There's no way I could do that, even if the non academic side of things was sorted. Not with the quite severe EF deficits I have. Something I've never had help and support for, and that may well have worsened with age. I was very ... |

What sort of private school do you go to? What country?
I've just been reading the bullying thread and it astounded me how many people were humiliated by their teachers. Is there a higher-up person you can talk to?
Making fun of your bodily functions is not on.
I'm sorry I don't know how to help. |

| I've read so many posts about people doing well until they reach college/uni. Then pure brain power isn't enough , and the bad habits they got away with come home to roost. I have no great achievements , not in the way that such things are usually judged. I do my best to be a good dad,granddad, and... |

| I want to go under electroshock therapy like john elder robison did. To get the normal parts of the brain switched on. However I don’t have the funds for it. I didn't know John Elder Robison had ECT. I wonder why he had it. I've had it too, about six months after I joined WP. I had eight sessions i... |

| Your sister may be on a high dose of mood stabilisers at first to deal with her manic episode and bring her down to a normal level. Once she's stable for a while, her medication may be lowered to a therapeutic level. One that stops her from becoming manic and also stops her from getting depressed. I... |

I've heard of risperidone (an antipsychotic) being given to autistic kids to treat irritability.
I took risperidone for a few months to try and treat my motor tics. Unfortunately I felt tired all the time and also had significant nausea. So it was back to the haloperidol which I still take now. |

| As an unusual disease, back in my mid 20s I got chicken pox for the second time (first time was when I was five and it was very mild). I remember waking up feeling like I'd been run over. The next day the itchy spots started to appear. I got them mostly on my scalp, down my legs and on the soles of ... |

And she's given me a load of homework that I still haven't done and my next appointment is next week. It's stressing me out and that's the last... |

| Australia Post doesn't deliver on. Saturdays or Sundays either. But having mail delivered 5 days a week is fine. We get private companies delivering parcels whenever, even on Sundays. Startrack, FedEx, etc. I can't remember their names. Sometimes they don't have any identification on the side of the... |

| I like the quote where they talk about labels, and say we're going to get labels regardless. We might as well get the correct one. Exactly! My nephew is autistic but my sister doesn't want him to have a label so he's undiagnosed. I have a feeling he will get a diagnosis in the future without her in... |

| Twice I've taken an overdose of my medication. The first time my stomach rebelled and I threw it all up. I was peeved at the time. The second time I overdosed on Tegretol (carbamazapine) which I later read is a fairly serious medication to take too much of. My housemate called an ambulance and at th... |
