I was diagnosed OCD, social anxiety and bipolar, but I think I have ASPERGERS? Anyone know much?
My ex has aspergers and I seem to have gravitated towards those with this disorder. I did not remotely consider it or even know if it until my ex mentioned it. I did not look into it until leaving him.
As a child, I was not good at playing. It all had to be done my way. I had to be in control of games. I was often looking at the sky, or lost elsewhere when my mother tried to talk to me and remember often being told ‘look at me when im talking to you’.
I had obsessions from a young age. I collected buttons, I collected records. I was obsessed with books and with learning different species of bird, butterfly tree…I even read phone books sometimes.
I was bullied throughout my school years. I seemed unable to get on with other kids unless they were younger, but I got on great with old people.
I have swung from obsession to obsession my whole life. Some last months, some last years, some are lifelong.
I dislike certain noises and being touched. I dislike eye contact.
The traits you have described are traits of Asperger’s.
Did your doctor give you reasons for why he gave you current diagnoses?

Social Anxiety $99.95 Clinicians, social and developmental psychologists and behavioral geneticists have all conducted research over the past ten years which is essential to furthering our understanding of and treatment of social anxiety disorders. If researchers and clinicians are to successfully combat this disorder, the literature must fully integrate studies on social anxiety, shyness, and embarrassment with the research on social anxiety disorder subtypes, biological theories and cognitive-behavioral or pharmacological treatment outcome studies. This book weaves together research findings gathered by renowned minds across these various disciplines, and chapters deal with both theory and research. Thorough exploration is given as to how to define what constitutes social anxiety, and assessment of the condition and its relationship to other psychological disorders. The biological basis and treatment approaches are also all explored in full. Coverage includes key issues not disucssed fully by other existing books, including related disorders of adult and childhood, relationship to social competence and assertiveness, relationship to perfectionism, social skills deficit hypothesis, comparison between pharmacological and psychosocial treatments, and potential mediators of change in the treatment of social anxiety disorder. * The most comprehensive source of up-to-date data, with review articles covering a thorough deliniation of social anxiety, theoretical perspectives, and treatment approaches * Consolidates broadly distributed literature into single source, saving researchers and clinicians time in obtaining and translating information and improving the level of further research and care they can provide * Each chapter is written by an expert in the topic area * Provides more fully vetted expert knowledge than any existing work * Integrates findings from various disciplines – clinical, social and developmental psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, – rather than focusing on only one conceptual perspective * Provides the reader with more complete understanding of a complex phenomena, giving researchers and clinicians alike a better set of tool for furthering what we know * Offers coverage of essential topics on which competing books fail to focus, such as: related disorders of adult and childhood; the relationship to social competence, assertiveness and perfectionism; social skills deficit hypothesis; comparison between pharmacological and psychosocial treatments; and potential mediators of change in the treatment of social anxiety disorder population |
