| Hey, I have been diagnosed with both bipolar I and aspergers/ASD. I've been on this dose of my antidepressant that work wonders. I was not depressed nor manic and was trying to convince myself I did not have bipolar, it was just puberty, and talk my psyche out of the diagnosis. BUT but for some reas... |

| I dislike when people use that word because my uncle suffered from hurlers syndrome, brain damage, and retardation. He died when he was 13-I was very little. To call someone or something or whatever ret*d as an insult is making fun of people actually suffering from it. |

| I'm not mild at all but I'm hoping to one day have those things. Just because you have aspergers doesn't mean those things are impossible to achieve-mild or even severe. They may be difficult-though quite enjoyable-but not impossible. Now what you are stating-people with "aspergers/ASD" that don't h... |

That study must be wrong in my case then lol. mom: 17 dad: 19 at birth.
My dad's side of the family shows autistic traits and some specific people (like my dad himself) could be diagnosed with ASD/AS if they actually looked for a diagnosis.
Though he may be more mild than I am but still. |

And I said, "But we're not going on any dirt." It's weird. I'm surprised I never noticed it being this bad before. Oh well. A... |

And I don't function well in school life-the routine doesn't work for me. I'm smart but the routine just doesn't work. But I'm so sick and tired of being alo... |

I looked like I was miserable. I looked upset. It took years for it to finally improve. And when I was 2-10 I looked an... |
