I have Asperger's syndrome as well as generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks. Would a special diet or medication help?

I saw on PBS or NPR, I can't remember which, it was on Youtube, where people with this condition used a specially trained dog to help them. That was the first I've heard of it, and they didn't say what Aspergers was.
But if you got diagnosed then you could ask them about a trained dog that would help.

Asburgers syndrom is a form of otism and i dont think there's medicine for that.
I know a lot of people who have it and it's like a social form of it or something

The best therapies for anxiety and panic are cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT). Asperger's, similarly, can be improved with such techniques.

Yes, it is a disorder which impairs social functioning. I know quite a bit about this now because I recently dated someone who has it. It was one hell of a crazy roller coaster ride. I don't mean that in as bad a way as it sounds, but needless to say the relationship ended bitterly and I still haven't quite come to terms with it, or my role in everything that happened. I may post something I wrote about my experience in the writer's block because it's more of a stream of consciousness outpouring of emotion than anything rational or informative.

I'm wondering if growing up blind and in an alcoholic home emphasized aspie issues. I'm really struggling with anxiety issues and recognizing an emotional disconect. I havve a really hard time connecting emotionally with what another person needs. I get it intellectually and practically but am missing something. I know that people born blind have a harder time socially than those who lose their sight later in life. Then on top of everything else growing up hearing on one hand how smart you are and on the other what a piece of shit waste of space, pick your favorite cutting remark and you've got a real mess on your hands. I wasn't sheltered but there wasn't much guidance either. You get good at putting on the happy face and ploughing through but it doesn't work in the long run. I want to undo my relationship and hit the reset button.I had no business entering a relationshp at 20 and didn't really know how screwed I was. When your looking for anything everything seems like it could work. When you don't know what you want you won't know when you've found it. I hate thinking that Solomon would be better off with a sighted mommy who could give him what he needs. What do you do when it's never enough?
