For my project I'm trying to find out how people feel the diagnosis has effected their lives, primarily using the opinions of those who are close to someone with autism, and if it has been a benefit to be diagnosed or not.
I'm also looking at how effective treatments are and at how people view autism in society.
If anyone would be willing to share your opinions that would be fantastic and a great help to me, no names are being used, I'm just using the things people say to build an idea of what the diagnosis means to people.

I have a younger brother.He is 13 years old and is autistic.He has epileptic attacks say once in a month or in about 2 months.We have been giving him Tegrital Solution from the past 3-4 years,2 times a day.My brother does not go for an EEG.When the doctors put the EEG recording wires or whatever they are on his head he just removes them.
Yesterday morning he had an epileptic attack.The doctor said that the solution is not strong enough,so he changed the medication to Tegrital CR 200 mg ( http://chemistparadise.com/Tegrital_CR_2...-9185.html ).Each tablet contains
Carbamazepine IP 200mg
Colouring agents:Iron Oxide Yellow,Iron Oxide Red and Titanium Dioxide IP

He prescribed 1 tablet in the morning and 1 at night.Is this prescription fine?
Tonight i noticed him restless.Is it ok?Does this medicine have any kind of side effects?

Have you yet congregate a person who has on no account been ill or unwell in any method in his or her complete existence? No way! No one can play doctor particularly when sickness is concerned. You will forever and unavoidably discuss with a physician if you have physical condition (medical) matter.

A fitness usa healthcare occupation is one of the wisest and the majority profitable occupation instructions a human being can desire. It is as well economically satisfying to the extent that it is extremely pleasing in the sense that you give to the remedial of people's sickness. It is an extremely dignified job.

Healthcare vocations present an exclusive kind of completion in the sense that because you are concerned individually with an enduring, satisfaction is approximately immediate upon the enhancement of your patient's physical state.]]>

I hope you won't mind me posting this here even though I've only joined the forum today.

I have an adopted son of 20 with autism. He is called Steven. I was ill after Christmas and arranged for him to go to his regular respite unit for three days. I was told the following day that he had been moved to a "Positive Behaviour Unit" and was pesuaded to let him stay there for two weeks "to get myself back on my feet". A Week later, I was told he was being kept there for an indefinate period to work on his challenging behaviour. He hasnt been allowed to return home since.

He is in a terrible double bind. In the four months prior to him going away, we had 14 incidents of "challenging behaviour" at home. If you understand about autism and what an "autistic meltdown" is like, then the figure of 14 isn't too bad. In the seven months Steven has been at the "Positive Behaviour Unit", they have recorded 306 "incidents". Lots of experts in the autism field have contacted me to confirm that greater levels of aggression = greater levels of anxiety but social services are refusing to acknowledge this. Earlier this year, Steven was left unsupervised in the care home (and there were only 2 other residents), left the house and met a vicar whose glasses he removed. As a consequence of this, the local authority served Steven with a Deprivation of Liberty order.

On that afternoon, Steven was left unsupervised and left the premises on his own. I've never been able to find out exactly how long he was on his own. To this day, the Authority havent acknowledged they failed in their duty of care that afternoon. I'm not into blame at all but it seems that to cover up their own failure, Steven is to some extent, carrying the can. The vicars glasses incident happened on 16th April. On 17th April, I met with the manager to discuss and agree the next phase of Steven's transition home programme. On 19th April, Steven was served an emergency Deprivation of Liberty Order, which is still in place. The order wasnt mentioned during the meeting on 17th April and on the 18th April, Steven went swimming without incident and came for a home visit without incident. I've never received an answer as to why the order was served, and why was it served at that particular time.

The latest bombshell is that they want to move Steven to an out of borough specialist unit to work on his "extreme challenging behaviour". This will cause untold damage as he will lose his normal support workers, his friends and all the places he goes to that are so important in helping him feel secure.

There is a money angle to this case. It is becoming increasingly clear to me and Steven's supporters that the Local Authority are trying to shift the cost of Steven's support package on to the PCT and the only way they can do that is by exagerating the challenging behaviour because that will score him more points and move him into PCT funding category.

I could write reams on this story but really came here to ask if you would be willing to a) find out more about this case and b) if you agree, sign the petition to allow Steven to return home.

You can find the petition http://www.Petitiononline.com/Steven/petition.html

There is a Facebook group - Get Steven Home which you can find at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=134345726596848 and gives lots more information, including links to newspaper and radio articles.

Thanks for reading this and if you feel you can, please pass this on to family and friends. Steven just wants to be home with his family and friends who he has lived with quite happily and successfully for the last 15 years.]]>

I would like to ask the question that is there an overlapping of aspergers/mild autism and severe dyslexia. I ask this question as I have been wondering for over five years. As I was diagnosed with a severe form of dyslexia in the late 1980's early 1990's I am now starting to think there may be more to my "dyslexia" than first meets the eye. When I read articles about these mild forms of autism, well to be totally honest it sounds exactly what I have and always wondered if misdiagnosis or an overlapping of the two symptoms?

I am fine in small groups and one and one, apart from when people start talking in huge sentences about something in work and not one piece of information sticks in there. I was an utter failure at school however when taken out of the standard education system in to art based courses at college, I flourished and now sit here at 26 with two degrees. But I seem to fail at the social side of things but I am sociable. If I can clarify that I panic in strange situations, and in large crowds lose it. I fail to ever make eye contact and have always thought this is incredibly strange and people remark and ask why my eyes dart around and always ask why I am looking above them. I am pretty bad in relationships as girlfriends even say that I am OTT or completely vague, no middle ground of normality really.

Hope this gives you a good idea.

Any information or pointing me in the right direction I would be grateful.]]>

Firstly i would like to say a big hello

But the main reason for finding this forum is that i need some help with Higher functioning Autism.

My Son was diagnosed with Aspergs Syndrome several years ago now, but watching him in his daily life made me notice how we both share a lot of the same traits and qwerks, even my dad tells me he is exactly the same as when i was a child... i'm in my mid 20's now but i have done more and more research recently and everything i have looked at suggests that there is a good chance that i have Aspergs Syndrome as well. Now i don't want to be one of these people who reads something a just decides "oh that's what i have"... but i need advice and wether i should actually look in to a professional diagnosis?

i know that this is no means a diagnosis but on Wired Autism test is score between 40 and 43... i have done the test a few times Blush

I get extreaml stressed when a routine is disrupted.

i cant stand large crowds of people... shops etc... to much noise with all the conversations at once.

I am quite happy to seclude myself from people form hours/days at a time with no interaction.

i have a hyper focus and a few specific topics that i know an awful lot about... cars, video games, electronics... and an odd one weapons?

i notice little details e.g. car number plates in number succession.

i can pick up music notes and repeat them quite easily, guitarist.

i can be very uninterested in other peoples conversations and i dont really like chit chat... i would be much happier on my own.

Any way these are just some of my qwerks as an adult, but really what i am asking is "help" what do i do, should i just leave a professional diagnosis as i am in mid 20's or should i still push for one?????

Thanks in advance ]]>

I was diagnosed this week, at the age of 34.

They're diagnosing me with Autism. The person who did my main assessment congratulated me

It had never, ever occurred to me that I might have autism - somewhat ridiculous as my best friend who lives with us has Tourettes and related ASD, and my step-son has been diagnosed with Sensory Integration Disorder / Auditory Processing Disorder and DCD... so it's not like I knew nothing about it. What I did know was very much dominated by the older stereotypes, and based around boys, so I never made the connection.

Also I was just blind to the things I was blind to. To me, my ways of thinking about and understanding the world make perfect sense. I didn't know - still don't 'know' really, but I believe the assessment - that I can't really read non-verbals.

Getting this diagnosis feels fantastic. I've always felt like an alien. I've dealt with some very serious mental health problems - even spent time on locked wards - and I can now see how being autistic in an NT world could make the problems I had so difficult to manage.

I feel excited about being able to be 'me' in a more ... well, I guess a more deliberate, joyful way. I feel like a whole plethora of weights and obligations and constraints have been lifted from me. Weddings? I'll be in the car doing sudoku thanks. I'll pop in from time to time but I'm no more equipped to sit around chatting all day than the NTs are to solving maths problems for 12 hours straight.

I have a wonderful partner who is a psychotherapist. She has been totally supportive, and we have a very loving relationship with great deal of shared meaning, we just sometimes have problems with communication. Realising that there are ways in which our minds are just too different to meet intuitively is a relief. We can enjoy meeting where we do, and be ok about not meeting where we can't.

I'm extremely lucky that I've managed to create a life for myself which suits my neurology. I work from home as a computer programmer, and live in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere. There are only a small number of things I'd like to change and I feel like I have permission to do that now, instead of trying to be 'normal'.

I also realise that I was actually lucky to be born at the time that I was. Of course there was no hope of me getting a DX, but it was before the national curriculum. I was obsessed by and gifted at maths and science from the get go, and my teachers took the time and energy to let me always have special work and projects to occupy me. I doubt that flexibility would be there today so I imagine in today's classroom I would be as lost and anxious as I used to feel in the moments when I didn't have a task to engage me.

At the moment I'm only 'coming out' as having autism to a handful of people who I know can be trusted to respond appropriately. My partner has persuaded me that we need to sit with it for a long time before we can expose ourselves to the ignorance of other people, with their 'helpful' comments.

So... yes, hello!]]>
