Kleine Levin Syndrome

Post Reply New Topic

Taken from KLS Foundation:

Kleine-Levin Syndrome (KLS) is a rare and complex neurological disorder characterized by periods of excessive amounts of sleep and altered behavior. The disorder strikes adolescents primarily.

Is anyone familiar with KLS as a parent, adult, or from childhood? There is little information about this disorder available. I've found just about everything available on it. I'd like to hear personal accounts from the Autistic Spectrum with KLS also. I'm undiagnosed with anything accurate by doctors, but I've self diagnosed KLS, and possibly AS, but I seem to be a more generalised Spectrum disorder because my family members seem to be from one end of a Spectrum to another. Who knows? I don't have simple answers.

interesting. i can relate to most of those symptoms although not quite as extreme. i thought i had chronic fatigue. it has things in common with AS.

interesting indeed.

ooo very interesting, thanks for posting about this.

Is there a link?

This sounds a lot like me. I go through 'phases' where I can sleep 18 hours a day and have no energy for anything at all, as well as being super-spaced-out and disconnected from everything and disoriented.

The only thing that doesn't match up is the hypersexuality.

Iiiinteresting.
