| Topic | anyone here have aspergers, bipolar, or both? |
| Trialia 12/02/19 5:41:42 AM #14: | I have both... Adolescent-onset rapid-cycling bipolar NOS (type not otherwise specified), if specificity matters; I knew by the time I was 14 that my mood swings were far worse than those of most other people I knew of my age, but I wasn't diagnosed properly until I had a nervous breakdown when I was 19. As for Asperger's, though it's begun to be called simply a variant of "autism spectrum disorder" since Asperger was a Nazi and many of us would rather not, I've been told by numerous professionals that I clearly do have it, but somehow it's never ended up on my formal records. If you're adult and not male and/or non-verbal, getting a formal diagnosis on paper is a nightmare. Unfortunately, it would be rather helpful to have it written down. As things stand, the formal (MH) list is bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD. All of which are common comorbidities... Oddly enough, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome seems to be, too, or at least I know an inordinate number of people with EDS who are also autistic to some degree. It would be interesting to see what a study would show. --- Trialia ~ unfaithful-mirror.net PSN: Trialia_X, Xaedere (100%) | XBL: trialia, Noquelle (100%) ... Copied to Clipboard! |
