14 year old - OCD/Apergers - "forgetting" medication

Dear NAS35349,

This must be very frustrating for you.  If you'd like to talk about it with someone directly, please feel free to contact the NAS Helpline on 0808 800 4104 (Monday - Thursday 10am-4pm, Friday 9am - 3pm).

Perhaps this community needs to be split in two - one for people on the spectrum and one for NTs

NT?

No offence Taltunes but surely its not helpful having two separate forums. Its just going to widen the gap and turn it into a "them" and "us" thing which is not helpful  to anyone IMHO.

Sorry NT is short for Neuro-typical which is how most people on the spectrum describe people who are not on the spectrum. One problem with using normal instead of NT is that the opposite of normal is abnormal which some of us on the spectrum feel is derogatory. For similar reasons I prefer ASC autism spectrum condition to ASD autism spectrum disorder
