Hi Sara,
Very interesting Sara. Thanks for sharing it. I remember my psychiatrist and I chatting about the possibility of Asperger's syndrome about 5 years ago. We quickly dismissed it, as for except for what I've written here that would support it, I am almost the complete opposite of Asperger's Syndrome. I love change, am very social (when not under the rampages of depression) wrote poetry and have always worked in design. My pdoc seemed to think this cancelled me out for Asperger's Syndrome.
I do have an uncle with this, and funny enough 3 (my mother) out of 4 of this sisters have ADD - so it definately must be related in some families. I bet alot of people out there have been misdiagnosed with ADD or something else, when it should have been Asperger's.
Good luck Sara and thanks again, Janice
