Giving your younger self drug advice?

Although the experiences opened up a whole new dimension, and there were some positives, some of it was not positive, and had a lingering bad effect on my beliefs and state of mind.

These things could have made quite a big difference to the person I became.

Are you doing okay now?

yeah I'm 'getting by', I have some bad times and some good times. I guess that's normal.

The negative effects of the mushrooms and cannabis took a while to overcome, but I had several undiagnosed conditions going on at the same time, which I think made things worse.

Everyone in authority was obsessed about drugs, whereas in reality the undiagnosed Autism was probably a more significant cause of my difficulties.

Jeez, that sounds familiar.

Have you been diagnosed now?

I'm sure I'm on some sort of spectrum, but my severe anxiety always prevented me from seeking help.

Yep. Autism, and ADHD.

I also have social anxiety, but I don't need a psychiatric diagnosis to know that.

I'd recommend looking up the AQ50, a very handy autism screening test. Everyone will have some of the traits, but if your score is over a certain point it would be worth looking into further.

I think I got around 41 out of 50 IIRC, so I knew I was way over the threshold.

I only found out after Shane MacGowan's death that he had severe anxiety, and that was the main driver of his boozing and him perhaps being the most famous and prominent wreckhead of our generation, imo.

Just taken an online AQ50 test, but the bastards want ยฃ1.99 for the results.

Sod that, I'm not paying to be told that I'm a fuckup - and a tight cunt toboot... :!
 
what score did you get if you dont mind me asking?

I'd watch this for more info, although the approach is academic. (I prefer the personal experiences aproach, but this guy still helped me towards knowing) Although the "Aspergers" terminology has now fallen out of use, it falls under the same umberella, and is basicaly the same thing as what would now be called 'high functioning Autism'. meaning that you can hold down a job and look after yourself etc.....Even though doing that often comes with many challenges and difficulties.



and this woman has produced loads of really helpful relatable personal experiences, rather than academic. She's amazing.

hmmm, there are free tests that give scores, but i really have to get offline and make my dinner.

You may find the videos helpful, and they'll provide further indications as to whether it's likely or not.
