Hah. I'll even do it properly.
Axis I: Dysthymic Depression
OCD
Axis II: ASD
Axis III: Benign Rolandic Epilepsy
Dysgraphia
Dyscalculia
Parietal Anoxic Injury
PCOS
Mononucleosis that just keeps coming back, dear God. It can do that.
Babesiosis (Educate yourself, Northeasterners!)
Autonomic Disorder
Rule out Lupus
Axis IV: STRESSSSS
Axis V: I don't actually want to assess my global functioning or I might cry. My room's a pit of despair, I'm behind on work, hiding from my friends, rejecting all dating offers...wowza. I'm a hot mess. But my hair looks sassy today, so there's that. |

I had Hyperlexia as a child. I spontaneously learned the alphabet at the age of 2 and to read at 4, but didn't speak regularly until I was 5 or so. I also learned elementary math operations (+, -, x, ÷) before I began kindergarten. I was excellent at spelling and pronunciation, but had trouble following any plot line beyond a second-grade level until I was in 6th grade. I was born in 1984, so my lack of speaking capability as a little kid got me diagnosed PDD-NOS since we didn't know as much about autism then.
No physical disorders, but I was very thin until my mid-20's.
(I used alt+246 to get the ÷ symbol.) |

The only thing I've been officially diagnosed with is Aspergers, but I've been suspected of maybe having Bipolar disorder by one of my doctors. My Mom refused to listen to him and made me switch doctors, but now that I'm older I think I can see some of the Bipolar traits I have. I often go through periods where I have high levels of energy, almost like a manic phase, and then I get extremly depressed and don't want to do anything. Plus I find it weird that this medication I take called Risperidone which helps me a lot is commonly used for people with Bipolar.
If I really do suffer from Bipolar Disorder it could explain some of the crazy behavior I have occassionally. I'm sure some members on this forums who remember some of my older posts will remember some of the crazy things I used to ramble about before I calmed down, and I know that every now and then I go back to doing it.
Maybe the fact that I'm so mild mannered in real life is why my Mom has refused to consider that I might suffer from it, my grandfather and aunt both have it and they act a lot worse than I do (only because they're open about it). Maybe I should explain some of this to my current doctor and see what he has to say and then maybe my Mom will listen. |

Psychologically I've had many diagnoses over the years - but I'm apparently dealing with bipolar II along with Avoidant and Obsessive-Compulsive personality disorders.
Physically speaking, I have numerous severe allergies (environmental, medication, food, metal...) and asthma.
ETA: I was also hyperlexic (taught self words at 15 months, reading books at 18 months), am synaesthetic, and have perfect pitch. |

I have intense social anxiety that I've managed to work through, I have intense insomnia from time to time, dyscalculia which I've also managed to work through and symptoms resembling bipolar disorder but I don't think I actually have it. I also have hyperlexia.
In the past I've struggled with dissociative identity disorder, foreign accent syndrome and repressed memories. All three have since disappeared or I've completely healed from.
My AS is extremely mild, as the only symptoms I have now are special interests, the inability to percieve social cues and body language by instinct, stimming, executive dysfunction and I very rarely have sensory overstimulation. Otherwise I can function perfectly fine and my social skills are actually decent despite a lot of stuttering. |

Synesthesia
Each letter of the alphabet has a gender and each persons face has a different musical note to it.

Each digit has specific character, a music can be visualised or painted (which can reveal arrangement deficiencies). |

Besides AS, I have ADD, GAD, panic syndrome, PTSD and depression.
Physical conditons are high blood pressue and chronic muscle tension (I don't know what it's officially called in English, but that's what it translates to from Swedish), the latter being the cause of my migraine-like tension headaches. |

I don't have AS... I actually have Classic Autism in a mild to moderate scale. I also have ADHD and varying learning and developmental delays. My writing skills are more savant-like even though writing isn't an actual savant ability but my skills in writing have been proved as being baffling to those around me. XD

Well its interesting to read what people are saying because I too sometimes feel I could have bipolar.
I can days when I'm quite excitable and very happy.
The next I feel (almost) suicidally depressed. Like life has no hope.
Also I've had OCD which is better these days.
Its interesting how AS and all these other conditions link up. |
