Eh, F90.8 or F90.0 on basis of F84.5.

That would be "other hyperkinetic disorder" (because the ICD-10 says autistic people can't have ADHD) with the differential diagnosis of "ADHD" or "hyperkinetic disorder, disturbance of activity and attention" (in case the medical community turns out to be mistaken and autistic people can finally start having ADHD) and "Asperger's syndrome" or "Asperger's autism" without meeting all the required diagnostic criteria described under (A) and (D) out of (A) to (D).

I'm not sure which option I should pick though.

Just go with AS, you have a dx of AS, if I recall correctly? As for ADHD / AS, choose the one that you think describes you the most accurately.

Are you sure it's not "AD", Autistic Disorder? If it's "AD", you should choose "Classic Autism".

Overall i consider myself as a person with Asperger's Syndrome as i was diagnosed in my childhood where as Epilepsy was just a few years ago so i am just coming to terms with that condition.

Officially I have a diagnosis of ADHD. That fits kind of. Maybe someday I'll go for a diagnosis, but maybe not.

I said other because the only thing I was ever diagnosed with was depression, and I am not even positve I actually even got that diagnoses. I have the symptoms of Aspergers but its never been officially diagnosed.

I have a diagnosis for Aspergers but the multi- disipline team were unsure what to diagnose me as because i fit the criteria for HFA based on history. They decided to ignore history and give me the diagnosis as to what they observed.

Aspertism.

Autigers.

I.e either AS or HFA. My diagnosis is AS and that took so darn long it's good enough for me, even if I feel more HFA, given some of my delays and the extremity of some symptoms.
