  • i never really understood how or what i was going through, i have all the symptoms, this video made me realize who i am..now i need help getting out

  • My classes are often interrupted because I am like these kids.

  • 2:38 it's like he's staring through my soul

  • "Battling anxiety is an effective way to eliminate the depression that so many with Asperger's have."

    This is way off the mark.

    "Battling anxiety" is a pretty certain way to ensure that anxiety levels escalate. We just get more anxious as a result of experiencing the futility of our attempts to battle anxiety levels down. It sets up a vicious circle. And high anxiety levels do not reduce levels of depression as far as I know.

    It's best to let anxiety be until it subsides of its own accord.

  • yeah im pretty sure i have a mild form of it. but ive learned how to adapt to it over the years.

  • @Indiananm You too? It usually takes me about an hour or two to fall asleep because I'm thinking. My mom tells me to stop thinking and relax but I don't know how or even what that means.

  • im 18 was diagnosed with asperger many many years ago i suffer from bad panic attacks / anxiety i hate it its stopping me being able to get a job but i recently been put on a medication called propanolol it helps abit but doesn't stop it .. i wish i could get rid of asperger depression can get really bad : /

  • I can relate to this video waaaay too much...

  • I can't go to church or to the shopping centre 

  • I have asperger's and I just recently moved. I've been stressed out trying to get used to a new place. I have issues sleeping because I have too many thoughts in my head, but I find music and writing helps me relax.
