Yeah, I get that. It's anti-anxiety meds that I was thinking of with regards to managing autism. But I've already refused those multiple times because I can't cope with the side effects due to extreme over-sensitivities.
I am pleased the diagnosis helped you, and others on here and in the wider world. I just don't see how it would help me when what I need is practical change and practical adjustments to make the real world accessible. Perhaps I am in a minority with that.
I don't really want to start a guys vs girls debate. I never was a conventional guy myself so wouldn't know what it's like for them anyway.
