didn't mean to offend anyone by posting this thread!
just looking for some educated opinions but i know nothing replaces professional advice
fallenmemory - hot flashes are something people have suggested to me before, but i am in my 20s and this has happened since at least early teenage. also the panic symptoms such as hyperventilation and feeling of being out of control, etc, do not seem consistent with menopausal hot flashes.
katie - i am dx'd aspergers but probably more likely hfa or PDD-NOS as i have self-care/day-to-day difficulties, which are specifically excluded in aspergers DSM criteria. some countries define aspergers as distinct from hfa and some do not. from talking to other autists i expect multiple rediagnoses anyway.
