A lot of disorders can happen when you either have autism or Asperger's. I for one have almost everything in the DSM IV. How fun. I have depression, anxiety, conversion disorder (not as bad as it was 2 years ago in fact I haven't had a seizure for many months if not years. For all that don't know what conversion disorder is it is a physical reaction to a psychological cause such as seizures {non epileptic seizures} deafness, blindness, and other things that look "physical"), schizoaffective disorder possibly bipolar type, Dissociative Identity Disorder (I don't switch personalities anymore), and others that I can't think of right now. Most of my disorders are controlled with medicine and I'm doing much better. But I have autism, not Aspergers and I know a lot of people on other boards I go on that has schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and autism. I also used to have panic attacks. All my problems started in 7th grade when I was being attacked daily in school, causing a breakdown. That was my first one and my second one happened shortly after I got out of college. I don't know the percentage of people that have schizophrenia and autism/ Asperger's but I bet its higher than the 1% in the general population. I also have a phobia of bees.
