Are you autistic?

What dose meds are you on? There’s some research apparently that suggests if you are autistic you are more sensitive to meds and thus requiring lower doses !

People with ASD may behave, interact and learn in ways that are different from other people . They may have trouble with social interactions and with interpreting and using
nonverbal and verbal communication.

nonverbal and verbal communication

No wonder I talk with gestures with bed bugs and other animals.
My first doc was so aware of it, He won’t even blink :astonished:
But once the meds kicked in, he started to move around :sweat_smile:

It’s true, the psychiatrist that diagnosed me told me way back in 2017

I’m not autistic. I was pretty social as a kid. Had friends throughout primary, secondary and uni.

Now I only meet a few friends a couple of times a year.

I had a fast heart rate before I even started the drug

Was annoying as the nurse couldn’t get hold of a pdoc when I was supposed to start it so had to wait around a lot

Amisulpride messed with my QTc levels
