ADHD, OCD, maybe SAD. Guess what the "D" stands for. I really have no idea if these are linked to AS, I know ADHD isn't.

I don't know what you mean by "linked". There are certainly disorders which occur more frequently within the Autistic Spectrum than in the general population. But this doesn't necessarily mean "linked"...

Frequent comorbid disorders:
-Attention Deficit Disorders
-Nonverbal Learning Disorder
-OCD
-Major Depression
-Bipolar Disorder
-Central Auditory Processing Disorders
-Learning Disorders
-Savant Syndrome or splinter skills
-Tourette's Syndrome and other tic disorders
-Sensory Processing Disorder
-Generalized Anxiety Disorder
-Social Phobia and other phobias
-Synesthesia
-Hyperlexia
-Prosopagnosia
