Yesterday my mom got pissed at me. On our mac, running leopard, where I have all my stuff stored, me and the parent username are administrators.

I cant do anything. and now my favorite websites are blocked and my programs won't work. Is there ANY WAY POSSIBLE to override her control? Is there some keylogger or I have no clue some hacking program? I finally guessed the password to my brothers account, but that account doesn't have the things I use the computer for. But, can I do something from that account? It is a standard account. ALL i need to do with a FREE mac keylogger (like this one but it's too expensive that I cant afford) is find her password, and just undo all her parental controls.

Firstly i would like to say a big hello

But the main reason for finding this forum is that i need some help with Higher functioning Autism.

My Son was diagnosed with Aspergs Syndrome several years ago now, but watching him in his daily life made me notice how we both share a lot of the same traits and qwerks, even my dad tells me he is exactly the same as when i was a child... i'm in my mid 20's now but i have done more and more research recently and everything i have looked at suggests that there is a good chance that i have Aspergs Syndrome as well. Now i don't want to be one of these people who reads something a just decides "oh that's what i have"... but i need advice and wether i should actually look in to a professional diagnosis?

i know that this is no means a diagnosis but on Wired Autism test is score between 40 and 43... i have done the test a few times

I get extreaml stressed when a routine is disrupted.

i cant stand large crowds of people... shops etc... to much noise with all the conversations at once.

I am quite happy to seclude myself from people form hours/days at a time with no interaction.

i have a hyper focus and a few specific topics that i know an awful lot about... cars, video games, electronics... and an odd one weapons?

i notice little details e.g. car number plates in number succession.

i can pick up music notes and repeat them quite easily, guitarist.

i can be very uninterested in other peoples conversations and i dont really like chit chat... i would be much happier on my own.

Any way these are just some of my qwerks as an adult, but really what i am asking is "help" what do i do, should i just leave a professional diagnosis as i am in mid 20's or should i still push for one?????

Thanks in advance ]]>

My sibling is in his early twenties and has quite severe autism and learning difficulties. Over the last couple of weeks, quite out of the blue, his behaviour has becoming very erratic on a consistent basis - happy one minute, violent and aggressive the next.

He has always had the 'aggressive streak' in him, but previously it could always be linked to triggers, changes of routine, etc. Due to this myself and parents have quite a solid way of dealing with him if this comes about in the house, to stop him hurting himself and others (he is now big and strong). However, the summer holidays are coming up and if this is to continue we worry for him with the outings and short breaks he has planned with befrienders (who obviously don't know him quite as well as we do) - so want to do all we can to try and get to the bottom of this now.

His communication is somewhere near the middle of the spectrum, being able to choose, saying what he wants and lots and lots of singing! But asking a question with an open ended answer, like 'what is wrong?' is like speaking a foreign language to him. Our personal opinion is that there must be some sort of pain or agitation, and that perhaps he is having an absence of some sort. As he can be very aggressive and then completely fine.

We have him in a good daily routine, appropriate diet and attending a progressive educational project daily. So at the moment we are a little stumped and just thought it may be worth putting this out there and seeing if anyone else had been through the same and what perhaps helped you through it? Clearly there is no right or wrong answer, but you never know, what you've done in the past may just help us.]]>

Can any one tell me how I go about getting a diagnosis of autism or asperg syndrome and what the diagnosis process involves.

I was going to go to my doctors try and get him to refer me to get a diagnosis. Is this the best way forward. Also my doctors surgery is slightly strange they have open surgery in the mornings when you don't need a appointment but are rushed through or appointment in the afternoon, but it is nearly impossible to get a appointment in the afternoon. If I went to see the doctor in the morning I would not have time to explain every thing and would be rushed through. I was thinking of writing a long letter to my doctor explaining every thing and asking him if he can refer me. And dropping the letter in to the surgery would this be a good way to go about it or do I really need to see him face to face.

I am sorry this is so long

any advice would be much appreciated

thanks in advance]]>

I do not know whether I have autism, but I've always exhibited the following traits:

1) Twitching my lips, jaws, and thighs, sometimes my feet.

2) Not into socializing. Introverted to an extreme degree, almost a hermit.

3) Often been called rude, snotty and all that because of my apparently uncaring attitude.

4) Have OCD and ADD; stick to routine, do repetitive stuff.

5) I obsess over one thing like a madman, only to lose interest and then obsess over still another thing. And so forth.

6) Another peculiar thing is, even strangers somehow instantly recognize me as a quiet person without knowing a thing about me. I wonder how that could be. Although I 'look' normal, people give me this peculiar look as if I were an alien.

7) however, unlike most autistic people, I am not good at math or science. I am basically into arts, literature, and all that.

What does everyone think? I feel wary going to a doctor....

I have autism it took a lot of brain processing and stress to write this document and get the grammar correct as well. I don't think it's 100% grammatically correct but i think it is readable enough.

I'm soon going to be moving house, which will mean that I will no longer be living with my autistic brother, who's 10. We're really quite close, and I know that when I leave he's going to be upset. The thing is that when he gets attached to someone and then they leave, he ends up not just upset, but not wanting to see them again a lot of the time.
I need to move out, as me and my partner are going to be having a baby soon, and we really need our own space. I just really don't want this to be too distressing on my brother! Can anyone recommend any ways to make the transition easier for him? I was thinking of maybe having something at my new place specially for him, so that he knows that he can come over and enjoy being there, but I don't know if that will work!
