| Wow, that's a lot of diagnoses. We on WP (well, the vast majority of us) aren't professionals so we can't definitively tell you much of anything about your possible AS or possible anything else, but I do know this: Everything you listed, including AS, is known to be comorbid. The chances of you hav... |

| Five years ago my doctor referred me to a psychiatrist because she thought I had Asperger's. My mom told me when I was a baby I was born about a month early and had 2 cases of Roseola, with 105 fever within the 1st year of my life. She said I didn't walk or babble until I was 2 and missed the crawli... |
