| Good video, I feel for him, I was bullied and have wondered what my life is for. But he seems to be getting past that with the help of his Mom and brother. |

| This site has some good info on APD. http://www.auditoryprocessing.com.au/ This page has info on the types and where the damage in the brain is. http://www.angelfire.com/bc2/capd5/ Very interesting sites. I am good at spelling at least :) I think I seem to have output organizational deficit as well... |

| I was just remembering back (quite a while ago) when someone posted something about a sort of disorder where you put words in odd order when typing/speaking. I have to really watch myself that I don't put my sentences together so that it's harder to read or understand. I'm not sure exactly how to de... |

| Very interesting posts. One of the questions I think from Maggiedoll, sometimes the abandonment isn't "real". I just think someone is leaving. One good example is when I was first dating my husband he would decide to go hang out with his friends and the thought of a big social gathering made my anxi... |

| Wow I'm a bit surprised to see that you all seem to be alot like me, or vice versa. I also read last night after posting this they people with capd or apd are terrible note takers.... bingo. I can't seem to listen, write, and keep listening at the same time. Also, I keep wondering if it's part of th... |

| That's very sad, I had a terrible time of going to the dentist when I was a kid. I was terrified, and I don't feel like the dentist handled me very well. I cried and screamed and all they did was restrain me and treat me like a bratty kid. I was simply terrified. I usually go to the dentist about on... |

| I think the thing that makes it hard to believe they could co-exist is the social aspects. The borderline is renowned for being needy and for swinging from person to person like branches of a tree. Aspies are known for being capable of being content alone with their special interests, and for havin... |

| It's difficult for me to try to explain because I don't feel like I completely understand it. My theory is I had aspergers from birth (of course) and developed bpd due to an invalidating and abusive environment. Plus I was unfortunate enough to marry a highly unstable abusive husband (talk about bad... |

| Recently I've had some big revelations in therapy. After being in therapy for 4-5 months we've both noticed I have symptoms and behaviors that are consistent with borderline personality disorder. I'm not surprised, while I'm not one of the out-of-control raging bpd'ers I do have emotion regulation p... |

| I recently began researching auditory processing disorder and auditory memory disorder (there are many variations of wording that seem to stem back to the same problem, how your brain receives and processes information that the ear hears). Anyways, I began researching it because I seem to have my ow... |

| You're not alone, I did that sorta crap myself. I remember a couple of times stealing candy out of the bins at the store and my Mom would ask where I got it and I'd lie and say someone gave it to me. One time I even stole a charm from someone and I lied and said I found it so I wouldn't have to give... |

Sounds good though, just seeing the trailer when he looks at her (I swear it looked like he wasn't looking h... |

| I don't really know when the therapy will end, we've never discussed any time frame. I thought about asking, but deliberately did not because I'm afraid I will not like the answer. Part of me feels like it might be a good idea to talk to him about this, but I'm too afraid of what he'll say. It may s... |
