I've been getting this problem with a sort of gripping sensation on my back, right side quite high up. It's been happening for a while, I think I may remember having it when I was younger too. Does this sensitivity come with Aspergers?

  • I guess it may be a normal stress response to which someone with AS would be more susceptible - knotting up of muscles in the upper back, neck and shoulders. It may be alleviated by doing relaxation exercises (you can get tapes from GPs - for years it was my GP's classic response to stress - give me a tape).

    I'm very prone to getting tension stress in the neck and shoulders when anxiety peaks, and just have to increase efforts at de-stressing.

    But that's a guess....does it sound relevant to what you are describing?

    One of the problems of AS is that symptoms which seem AS specific are - and I know I'm heading for trouble here - I've got my crash helmet on now - things that non-AS people experience. Its just that having AS you may expect to experience a lot more of it.
