Hello Photograph 51,
Don't worry I have been a member for about a year or so and have made less than 50 posts. In your signature you included the email address for a study you are doing. I will shoot you an email. I just got my neuropsychological eval results today after nearly 2 years of trying. Even this is kind of strange though. The Dr. never asked me or anyone who knows me about repeated behaviors or obsessive interests but included their lack in my write-up. Yet I am somewhat obsessive about history, particularly military history and I have been pacing and picking at my skin for as long as I can remember. I am a disabled vet and I am wondering if it is something they are afraid to track because of the current policies regarding people on the spectrum and military entry.
The diagnosis was ADHD and dysgraphia even though dysgraphia does not fit with reality either because a hallmark of dysgraphia is poor spelling and I am a two-time spelling bee champion. I originally went into it thinking that it was a problem with my processing speed, which was finally confirmed, and either HFA or dyspraxia. My wife wants to speak to the Dr. to let her know about some of the problems she has observed and perhaps get a questionnaire to fill out with her observations over the last 26 years. Evidently, this is not yet over.
