News of Asperger's Syndrome Forum

Are certain drugs particularly bad for people with AS? Such as LSD, alchohol, mushrooms, weed, etc. What are the typical affects for people with AS and should AS people avoid some drugs more than NT people?

Just curious.

Reading through these forums got me thinking. For some reason I grew up a few odd quirkes like:

1. Using my vision to assist in maintaining my balance instead of my natural equilibrium. In the complete darkness or when I close my eyes I have trouble walking and standing straight and maintaining balance. I might have naturally developed this due to my poor coordination, not sure.

2. Using my vision to assist in deciphering everyone's ...

I was curious as to what religion most aspie's were. I myself am Athiest and have been since around age 13 or 14 (I am 21 now).

So aspies, what do you believe in?
