> Very interesting Sara. Thanks for sharing it. I remember my psychiatrist and I chatting about the possibility of Asperger's syndrome about 5 years ago. We quickly dismissed it, as for except for what I've written here that would support it, I am almost the complete opposite of Asperger's Syndrome. I love change, am very social (when not under the rampages of depression) wrote poetry and have always worked in design. My pdoc seemed to think this cancelled me out for Asperger's Syndrome.

> Good luck Sara and thanks again, JaniceThanks Janice,
If I may be so nosey, what kind of design work do you do? I ahve a degree in art and also in architecture (where to "big" bucks are).
Actually, some AS people are very sociable, just inappropriately so. I don't mean to imply that anyone here has ADD or AS unless they tell us that, but I do find it interesting how it can shade into normal ranges of personality quirks.
