Things I can definitively say I have

- Aspergers (diagnosed)
- Tourettes (undiagnosed)

Things I can definitively say I had

- Synesthesia (Chromesthesia type - before I hit puberty)
- Sensory Integration Dysfunction (before about age 14)
- Motor dyspraxia (not diagnosed, but evident in early neurological testing, couldn't tie my laces until 4th grade)

Things I've observed in myself but can't say definitively I have / had / not enough evidence to prove

- OCD
- Irlen syndrome
- Absence seizures (last epsiode I can recall was when I was 20, nearly caused me to get into a traffic accident)

That's my list. Whats yours?

I have autism (Asperger Syndrome) and ADD. I also have synesthesia, but I don't think that's classified as a disorder.

ASD
Tourettes
Auditory processing disorder

I'm pretty sure I also have ADHD and I'm coming to the realisation that I'm pretty sure I have OCD too.

Sorry, I have to correct people. You can be diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome if you have ASD ONLY if your tics are injurious. I am looking at the DSM-V (since I own it) right now and I see no mention of Tourette's not being able to be diagnosed if you have ASD so I don't know. Here is two links that says they can be diagnosed at the same time:
http://www.autismdailynewscast.com/auti ... urel-joss/
http://www.autism-help.org/comorbid-tou ... autism.htm
So nevermind, you can have Tourette's and autism at the same time, whether it is injurious or not.

Oh, and the injurious thing is actually part of Stereotypic Movement Disorder, not Tourette's. I knew I read the injurious thing somewhere. Hope this helps :D

My anxiety and depression have improved greatly in the past decade or so. Possibly due to my no longer having to live in and deal with anxiety-inducing situations on a daily basis. But I don't see autism as a "mental malady", and really wish people would stop talking about as if it were an actual disease.
