I don't have Aspergers.

Post Reply New Topic

I don't have aspergers, but I do have Tourette Syndrome. I'm here because I'm interested in learning more about A.S. Also I have, or have had symptoms that some people with Aspergers have as well, like echolalia, arm flapping, etc. Only T.S. is in the Obsessive Compulsive spectrum of the DSM-IV, which is also the same spectrum as A.D.H.D., not the Autistic spectrum. So when filling out my profile, I had to pick neuro-typical to describe myself, since there wasn't an option of any other spectrum. i don't really think of myself as neuro-typical though.

Hey there welcome to WP

Quite a few of the books I've read suggest that ADD, Tourettes, Bipolar, OCD, and ADHD are similar to or may be part of the autism spectrum - so I think you will feel comfortable here . . .

I only know a few cliches about Tourette's. How would you describe it?

I have a touch of it myself, so do many others here.

I think you'll feel right at home.

Hello!

My Aspie son has tics -- though he's been tic-free for a couple of months now. I was pretty sure we were heading towards a TS diagnosis (along with the ADD and AS), but then the tics disappeared. Now we're just waiting to see what happens next....

Anyway, as others have already said, there definitely seems to be a link.

I guess you could get a tourettes like thing if you have as. Constant almost constant distress can cause super frequent ticks. I used to get agravated from there frequency. I see it moved to petite mal seiuzures and I am sick of them too. I am sick of having to hide them from my mom can't med. I had one while I was looking at my mom shirt. She is like you were looking at my tits. I was looking at the design at first then it happened. I feal unloved so I overdue it with her sometimes and that is how she deals with it. She is a moody sob everyother day I can trust few. Father might have some autism that guy is a tard to. I don't he feal little. I told her she was fat and moody and not to flatter her self. She is something else she says I have a nice body and my sister said at ounce that if I were not her brother she would>>> I don't want the fat moody sob either. How she ever got to be a stripper is beyound me they must not see that mood. Sometimes I wonder if I even have as. I have excellent social skills just can't use them. These therapist they just point the finger I might just be the pst or bipolar and any way asperger the part I may have is easily fiXABLE. I never had a normal family why would you take a mom's story who underestimates you. Or a kid with some kind of sucidal depression and assume its aspergers. I can;t believe a psyhologist and clinical social worker say those things they should go back to school. iAnd were is this social skills deficeit were am I not suppose to say things without hurting people fealings. I diagnosis my family's hole pschological profile determine there motive how they think what they are thinking. I know what type of depressoin my mom has and can hurt bad with this info. Either that or its going away fast because of my hard work.

I personally do have coprolalia, eventhough most other people with T.S. don't.
