Hi Researcher I recently found out I had AS and from my own research, some AS people are targets for taunts, teasing and being easlily led. Often they are egged on to do something naughty by "friends" and get into trouble. This happened to me when I was 16 a few months after I left home. I fell in with a "friend" who took advantage of the fact I knew where the money was kept in a shop that I once worked in. He wanted me to break in and steal the money which we both did. Then a few weeks after that I did something terrible and ended up going through the juvenile courts, going into care and getting a criminal record for life.

Yes, Hi Smiley, I'm a new member btw I used to suffer badly with early morning waking but this was due to severe clinical depression. I have AS and some degree of hyperacusis which means I cannot sleep at night without ear plugs in. I try and listen to my ipod before removing the headphones just as I feel I am falling asleep but more often than not, I will go to bed late when I expect to be tired. Often I also have "restless leg syndrome" which prevents me going to sleep robert7111a
