So, this place is all well and good. Very helpful and informative and all the rest.
But something that has been fascintating me for absolutely ages is:
Do any of you suffer the comorbities of AS?
I have the bunch, it's really quite odd.
I have Aspergers....lucky me...I mean that too.
I have OCD,
I have MPD, my alters are called Anubis and Kasston So he is called Kastor now.
I have ADHD,
I have a form of Depression,
And last but not least some form of dyslexic/dygraphic thingie.
I am in a group of friends that all have awfully strange syndromes.
Many of them have one of the things I do. I was just wondering whether anyone was like me in any way and if they'd like to share anything bout it cus it bugs me thinking I'm the only eff'd up one about the place.

My daughter is also multi-diagnosed. We have a whole list of things, only a few of which I remember without digging through my paper work. Mainly life hinges around finding ways to deal with Asperger's, OCD, ADHD, inattentive type, and watching for signs of psychosis mainly in its schitzophrenic presentations so the potential for bipolar/MP/mania is there but not yet presenting. Depression runs in the family so we watch for those symptoms too.
So, no, you are not the only one here. In addition, although she does not fall under the non verbal learning disabled, she does have a slow processing speed, or so I am told. My personal belief is that the school assignments do not take into account her Asperger's. They continue to give her pages of work-all of which she could do if it were broken down into smaller pieces so as not to be overwhelming to her. The school's IQ test put her at 81, one point above the criteria for being mentally challenged but to hear her or see the work she does get done, she is well above average.

Not much, apart from the probable aspergers. Depression, if I weren't taking my medication -as long as I do I'm happy enough-, and Dyscalculia.

Well, unless people have an incredibly slow rate of reading or don't care.
It seems no-one is like me, which is a bugger really.
At the moment everything is rather good.
I just wish I could speak to people.
But you guys understand anyway.

So far I've been diagnosed with--in chronological order--Sensory Integration Disorder, ADD, Tourette's, and OCD in addition to Asperger's Syndrome. I've gotten the general impression that all of those are fairly common as far as conditions comorbid with AS go.

I think I only have AS. Before I found out it was AS, I thought it was just mild OCD. I have auditory processing problems and I'm uncoordinated. I think those are part of the way Asperger's Syndrome manifests in me, rather than additional conditions.

Well, that's actually quite interesting.
It seems that OCD and ADD are comorbid veins with AS. I know people with all three in many instances.
I find it more unlikely to find an AS kid with just AS.

The Colloquialism Well, that's actually quite interesting. It seems that OCD and ADD are comorbid veins with AS. I know people with all three in many instances. I find it more unlikely to find an AS kid with just AS. Well, I have AS, I like my routines, I like to double-check things, and if I'm really stressed I double-check fifty times. Asperger's Syndrome can look like OCD. One girl I know has an OCD diagnosis from when she was four. That was in 1987 or so, and AS was officially recognised in 1988. It's obvious that she is AS and badly so; the psychologist picked the closest disorder from the list as it was then. It's just been left at OCD, so she doesn't get the help she needs. From the people I know, sometimes it seems to me now that some professionals disregard previous diagnoses and say "you have symptom X. That is a symptom for conditions A, B, C, and D." Then at the end, they diagnose with all of them to play safe. But then, there are people who are bad at their jobs everywhere.

I know someone who's multidiagnosed.
I think they're overdoing it enough when they said I had AS, SID (Sensory Integration Dysfunction) then at the doctors, said I had Athsma, I was just thinking in my mind, "bullshit...... they're overdoing it now....".
Naturally, I don't think that anymore! sweatdrop

Took me awhile to find the thread let alone read it.
Anyway, I obviously have AS, else I wouldn't be here.
I've been diagnosed as all manners of oddities by doctors who didn't want to say I had autism. I was diagnosed with OCD for a time. ADD, though that was much earlier than the OCD and that diagnosis didn't stick either once it was settled that is was simply the AS in both instances.
I will admit I don't understand depression, at all, I never probably will, since emotions are about as foreign as Martian soil to me. (Though I'm skilled at mimicry.) I have a friend with depression, my mother suffered from it and still probably does. I've also noticed a lot of the people here have it too.
I wish I understood it, but I just can't.

I'm not sure how related all of it is but i've been diagnosed as being/having OCD, AS, manic depressive and trichotillomania.
I've not been officially diagnosed but I notice alot of sensory issues. Sometimes I hear alot better than seems normal and i'm kind of sensitive to light during the day and the evening; at night I have a hard time sleeping with any kind of light and during the day my eyes hurt from more than a dim light. I have this thing about fabrics too but i'm not sure if it's related or not.
