Do I have ADHD too?

Post Reply New Topic

When I was 6 years old (2002) I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome.
When I was 14 years old (2010) I was Put on the high change of ADD.

On the possibility of having ADD and knowing that I have Asperger's Syndrome I did a little research into and I actually laughed at seeing me actually on the webpages. Everything about me was there. Except a few things, On Google a common "Related Search" was ADHD, So I clicked on it and I noticed that a lot of that was me.

When ever I am sitting I am tapping my finger, foot, leg, hand, ect. At the dinner table every one says for me to stops swinging back and forth on the chair but I never even noticed that I had started. The only time I am not I watching TV, on the computer or watching something that is interesting me ( basically anything I am interested it. ). Just so you know i am even rocking my legs side to side on the chair.

Do I have ADHD, ADD and Asperger's Sydrome?

Hmmm...I don't rightly know for sure...but I have read that AS is quite often misdiagnosed as ADD or ADHD.

So that an initial diagnosis of ADD or ADHD is made before further investigation reveals that the correct diagnosis should be AS.

But...when you think about it too much...don't people on the Autism Spectrum have attention deficits... in a way that they are easily distracted or in other ways, depending on the individual?
