I don't have aspergers but I've been taking welbutrin for depression for about 3 months now. It hasn't elevated my mood significantly but it has seemed to increase the lows so they're not as low anymore. But I'm not impressed with it and I'll give it a couple more months but I think I'm gonna try something else. No significant side effects either, which, there's something to be said for that

ASD here (previously under the label of Asperger's). I don't take any medication, but have heard and read of numerous positive results for those who do with Bupropion (generic Wellbutrin).

I suspect it’s because I don’t wash my hair daily every time I workout. I don’t want to wash my hair daily but seems like I will have to do it. Any recommendations?
