Andrea-

Thanks. I was curious because the symptom I have that's driving me mad is an inability to feel any emotion. Total numbness. I've always had my quirks and semi-Aspergers'y side, but I've also always had very strong emotions. Feelings of happiness, sadness, love, nostalgia, etc etc.

About 4 weeks after getting a flu shot with thimerosol, my ability to experience any emotion simply disappeared. For example, if a loved one passed away, I would literally not be able to feel sad. And again, that is NOT the real me. But it is something I've read on a few websites of autistics that they can't feel grief.

Anyway, I hope to get my emotions back, either through detox or outright chelation.
