      Husband, father of 2. Recently realized that I have AS. One of my children is autistic. Autism definitely runs in the family. I am looking for support and help learning to live with AS and loving my family despite the limitations placed on me by AS.

      You had asked about my son, he prefers to be called Thomas. I will give him the link to some of your writings, I never know what will interest him anymore.

      Nope, no iron supplements - but the barley grass is full of vitamins and minerals, so maybe it's got a lot of iron in it. Hehe - I do work as a nursing assistant sometimes, and I've seen clients do explosive black poos as a result of iron supplements. I'm glad you're feeling rested today.

    • Open ADHD / ADD

      Have had ADD all my life, also have Asperger's Syndrome and probably some form of a mood disorder. ADD diagnosed only too years ago. I am more impulsive than anything else.

      Treatments

      Adderall Somewhat Helpful
      Was not on it long enough to know for certain.
    • Open Anxiety

      Had problems with anxiety most of my life. For a long time I didn't know what it was, thought it was a normal feeling. I also have Asperger's Syndrome, so there isn't many situations that don't cause me some degree of anxiety.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
      Only worked for a short time.
      Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
      Only worked for awhile
    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      Started having bouts of serious depression in my mid 20's. Everything I have tried works for awhile, but, it never fails to fail.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      did the best and lastest longer than any other med.
      Effexor Working / Worked
      didn't give it a chance, honestly
      Geodon Not Working
      The worst experience I have had with any drug. Felt like my brain was rattling in my head and had trouble staying concious.

      Prozac Not Working
      didn't do squat

      Not sure. I was too heavily medicated on mood stabilizers.

      This has really been essential. Not a journal, but more creative, soul searching, meaning of life sort of writing.
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      didn't last long.
