Re: Recieving comfort

[Guest guest]

Kate,

Can you tell me what you noticed about yourself or what the doc

pointed out to you that led you to believe you have AS? Did it cost a

whole lot to be diagnosed? What kind of solutions do they offer you?

After doing a lot of reading online and now here in this group I'm

wondering if I " m a combo!! It really sounds as if my dad may be AS

while my mom is definitely ADD or even ADHD. I wonder if that makes it

possible for me to be a a little of each.

Good to hear from you Kate,

Marcia

Good luck on that apartment, Kate! I'll be thinking of you and praying that

Thank you to Beth and Meira for their replies, i appreciate them.

Today I looked at two more apts, which was difficult but not unfeasible, and

it was a hardday, but I had a really nice taxi driver on the way home, who

gave me a huge discount, some apartment tips, and listened to me - so that

made me feel better for a little while! It only takes the small things, you

know, to make one feel better and supported, just a little bit?

Snowstorm today/tonight & tomorrow,all the schools are closed tomorrow!

(Technically today). Ha, in April no less, Geez. I'll probably, hopefully be

stauing home and relaxing or attempting to today so that should be nice. i

hope. Got my list of apts to call. Saw one tat was promising today, had a

couple problems, might work, someone else has first dibs though so will let

me know tomorrow.

Thanks!

I guess since it has a genetic factor that it only makes sense that

many of us would be the carriers, huh? Although I do think my

daughter's is more profound than mine : (
