It is 100% a disability for ME. I don't speak for all in this way because some people with AS are lucky enough not to suffer so much with it's problems. I live in a group home because of my AS issues and I struggle with everyday life.

You also have a long string of other disorders.
Yes I did notice that! I have been assessed by the place I live in because it is autism specific and a lot of my symptoms which cause me the most grief are linked to the AS and sensory problems. The ADHD causes more impulsiveness, while the TS just pees everyone off. It is the difficulty with understanding, communication, theory of mind and sensory issues that causes me the most problems. I expect you have a good point though because my other conditions probably do worsen the AS significantly.... I am going off to cry now...

Oh my, I'm so sorry! I should have realized that you already realized all of this and that me saying it would only make things worse. I was just trying to defend AS and I wasn't being sensitive to your problems, I feel awful now. I guess this is how AS causes problems for me too. I'm sorry.
