PTSD goes along with High Functioning Autism / Asperger's?
Not too long ago I read an article about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and was amazed at how many (all?) of the symptoms applied to me! (I also have either Asperger's or "High Functioning" Autism, and depression, anxiety and some other stuff going on...)
I haven't been able to summon up the energy to dig that newspaper article out of a pile of newspapers so I could share all the symptoms here, but I guess it's easy enough for anyone to Google anyway...
Is this common?

It's certainly not unheard of, especially since ASD people are more susceptible to stressful traumatic events messing with them. There are many possible coexisting conditions. There are several common ones (ADD, ADHD, OCD, Dyslexia, and the list goes on.), but almost infinite possible ones. (Every other neurological diagnosis possible.)
