    Anyone else on here have to use sleeping tablets to get normal sleep?

    Yep! I'm using Doxepin to get "normal sleep", it's a tricyclic antidepressant with anxiolytic properties and strong sedation, especially in the beginning. In relation to insomnia it really works but I'm still depressive and anxiously. :(

     

    Usual side-Effects in the beginning are: fatigue in the daytime and drowsiness. Otherwise a dry mouth (xerostomia) and a frequently increased appetite (maybe weight gain). I also used Zolpidem and Zopiclone et al. but they are not suitable for a long-term treatment because of possible physical dependency.

     

    I suffer from sleep disturbance since many years. Worse luck! :crying:

    Your Aspie score: 176 of 200

    Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 24 of 200

    You are very likely an Aspie

     

    Yes, that's right! :)

     

    Simon Baron-Cohen AQ-Test

    48/50

     

    I also think that these tests are most suitable for those who suspect AS, but it's not a valid diagnosis. I guess it is advantageous if someone isn't well-informed so that you are uninfluenced by the diagnostic criteria.

    Yes, greasy sun creams are really horrible. I don't like the feeling, too, it itches terribly on my skin. That gives me the creeps and it gets on my nerves. I'm a stay-at-home for a long time, so I'm not very often in the blazing sun.

    Thank you for the welcome! :)

     

    Ist "Perfektheit" ein Wort? . . . Es ist ein paar Jahren seit ich Deutsch lernte.)

    Ich muss sagen dein Deutsch ist auch gut, ich habe auch alles verstanden. Wirklich gut! :thumbs:

    "Perfektheit" - I must admit that also germans make similar mistakes. I also was not really sure if this word exists, but "Perfektion" is correct in any case.

     

    There is a very good book called The Complete Guide to Asperger Syndrome by Tony Attwood. It might be helpful for explaining things to your family. I wonder if it has been translated into German.

    There are three books translated into German. They are viewed as the best books about AS. I already have given two autism-documentaries (DVD) to my parents... hmmm I think it is a matter of time untill they will understand. :unsure:

    Hallo everybody! :)

     

    I'm Hyperakusis from Germany. I'm 36 years old and I was diagnosed with the Asperger-Syndrome in 2007 after a lot of wrong diagnoses. In retrospect all diagnoses were illogical because I already conjectured to be different when I was about 4 , 5 years old. AS ist still quite unknown in my town, in fact in my country... :crying:

     

    In any case I was relieved when this kind of being was described as AS. Now I could find answers for a thousand of questions. Somehow it is difficult to explain to my parents, sister and the other ones... maybe it's a matter of time and they will understand!??! :(

     

    I left school 20 years ago therefore my english is quite bad...

    ... I'm sure there are already a lot of embarassing mistakes in this posting... hope you don't mind?!?! :oops:

     

    Greetings from Germany,
