Possible Comordid diagnosis

Post Reply New Topic

I was just recently diagnosed as major depressive disorder and mild cognitive impairment.

Is this something that is common with Asperger's since I never mentioned it during the neuro assessment?

Depression is indeed common with Asperger's. I assume intellectual/cognitive/learning disabilities are much more common with those on the spectrum than the general population as well. Autism spectrum disorders rarely occur on their own in isolation without any comorbid conditions.

So is oppositional defiant disorder in childhood and Borderline personality disorder. However there is also a possiblity of misdiagnosis since that happens in psychiatry a lot
