Therapies for people with Aspergers?

super-meg

Is there such a thing?

I'm now refusing medication because I believe the doctor just wants to put me on them and it will all be fine but its not a long term solution so when I came off them again I'd be back to square 1. He told me therapies won't work but I told him what I need is somebody who is aspergers trained that can teach me the coping skills I so clearly need so he is looking into it....

  • I am speaking only for myself but I find it hard to seperate my anxiety from the rest of my condition. I hate my anxiety, I want it cured, and it makes me very unhappy to think that I will have to live with it for the rest my life. What sort of life is that? The NHS are not doing their job properly if they can't provide the right therapy. I don't care too much about my social issues, but my rigidity, need for routine, problems with uncertainty, all lead to painful symptoms in the form of anxiety. I have thought long and hard about this, and I know that Aspergers can't be cured and that Aspergers is not all negative. But for me, the negatives of this condition far outweigh the positives, and my life is being ruined by the anxiety. Like I said, the social side of AS does not bother me, the special interest side brings me pleasure, but the anxiety side causes pain. I believe my anxiety can be as good as cured. If I did not believe that, I would probably have developed depression by now. It is the only hope that keeps me going.
