Sensory Integration Dysfunction (^ as you mentioned, sensory disorders)
That's a big one for this Aspie, particularly when I get around people using fragrances, which make me desperately ill.  And super-angry!

Was going to say Auditory Processing Disorder  . Other than that I think you have them all.
Although I wonder how many of these are also associated with being left handed. I think I saw a poll here were 35% of the people in it were left handed here. I know left handed people are more highly represented in individuals with autism and also I believe with a lot of these comorbid disorders. |

My youngest son was also diagnosed with a global developmental delay, including a cognitive delay. I don't know how common that is for ASD, though.

Pervasive Developmental Disorder is autism. I'm wondering why you added it to the lists of co-morbid conditions.

Does Rett's as a PDD really allow additional PDD diagnoses such as ASDs?

As Sora said, some of those are standalone disorders, i.e., Axis-I (you can't have more than one PDD for example). And also, some of them come under Autism/Asperger's (usually the former), so the added diagnosis is superfluous.
OCD, but it's nothing special; it's just how my anxiety manifests [sometimes].
I was totally misdiagnosed, but O well, these things happen. |

I have Alexithymia - I can't perceive emotions rapidly and intuitively. Instead, I have to explore and question the experience using intellectual analysis in order to understand it. This takes time and sometimes means that I can't register experiences such as tiredness or anxiety, with the result that I often fail to deal with these experiences effectively. I see this as part of my AS, though, rather than in addition to it.
Additional problems I have are anxiety and depression, developed, I believe because my life has been very extremely difficult.

Face blindness
General clumsiness
Auditory processing problems
Sensory issues (taste, smell, touch)
OCD in some areas
Mood swings (possibly BPII)
Mostly all pretty mild. Plus a few things I can't recall the technical terms for, including some problems with spontaneous speech. |
