If your life has always been characterized with social difficulty, it might be aspergers. If it was a progressive decline after your hardships, and you really don't exhibit any of the other spectrum symptoms, it might just be PTSD.

I have some Asperger's traits but they are toward the mild end of the spectrum and don't give an accurate picture of what it is really going on.

she said mostly she would be only talking with me and not doing testing....

Do therapist spend only 15 minutes with their patients

No. Her behaviour is highly unusual. 50 min. is the standard for a 'clinical' hour. Testing sessions can be longer.

I can't say since for all I know you have a completely inaccurate view of what PTSD and ASD are, but it's certainly not typical for them to be mixed up, they're pretty different.

I would be default stick with ASD.

http://www.helpguide.org/mental/post_tr ... .htm#signs
this symptoms are accurate for my kind of behaviour and so i feel that i suffer from just PTSD.
when i saw the movie mozart and the whale i realised that symptoms of Asperger are totally different
and i dont have that kind of symptoms.....means i dont scream when there is sound of metal clashing, or my house isnt
a mess, neither i act that weird...

You do realise that that movie really sucks and isn't representable at all? My house isn't a mess either.

Almost nobody (I know with autism) has. The film isn't representative for most people with AS, I for one don't recognize myself AT ALL in it. It's a badly drawn caricature and certain traits are just extremely overly exaggerated. I know people with Asperger's, but none like in the film. I think you get a better image about Asperger's if you read internet sites and books about it, they put things a bit more in proportion and are often based on real experience with people with autism or even written by autistics themselves. Think of the film Rain Man: Not representative for autism either but people keep on mentioning it. Yet almost nobody fits that extreme profile.

post-psychotic PTSD?????

could you explain what you mean?

thanks :)


What I meant is I used to hear voices constantly telling me I was a failure, a loser, a moron, that I should kill myself,. etc.. Now I don't hear the voices but I still imagine people attacking me all the time. I always think people are against me. If you look it up, you can find some information on it. It goes under the category of complex post traumatic syndrome. Post-psychotic depression is a related phenomenon. I have also read that 1/5 of schizophrenia patients "recover" - perhaps I fall in that category. But recovered is not quite the right word for it.

Yes, that sounds like PTSD. I'm sorry you had to go through that. The world can be so cruel sometimes.

Hello,

I though I had Aspergers for a while....then I began to remember the severe abuse I suffered as a child at the hands of my psychopathic father. He broke my spirit and turned me into this awkward, quiet, anxious, and very fearful person. I avoided people for years...even displaying strange behavior to drive them away. I didn't talk to anyone, I drove all my friends and potential boyfriends away. I am terrified of letting anyone get close to me because I have never had a good experience in a friendship or romantic relationship.

My self esteem is low...I have days where I tell myself that I'm not attractive or fit enough. I'm not appealing to men....not a good sister....not a good daughter. If someone triggers a PTSD episode, I shut down and stop responding as an attempt to make that person go away. They do....and as a result, I have no friends. It could be anything....a certain smell, sight,sound, or touch. Anything can trigger my PTSD and it is difficult to live with but counseling and prayer have helped.

looking back now i feel i have PTSD and not Asperger
my lack of social skill could be due to PTSD and i remain withdrawn, deep in thought, sad etc etc. it could be not related to Asperger
any suggestion


I would feel the same way had I not been experiencing symptoms of AS prior to my traumatizing experiences.
