| And I also know that people who self diagnose, at least the majority of them, will do extensive research for months and even years before coming to their conclusions. These are not just matters of I read one article or I took an online test and so I decided I am Autistic just for the fun of it. The... |

| I KNOW I have an ASD. I was blatantly, classically autistic (without stimming, though) until age 5 1/2, when I acquired speech. After I acquired speech, I became pretty much an Aspie. I was the classic "little professor" type. I was very bad with social cues. I didn't consider my audience when I sp... |

| Is the difference to NTs that they are able to develop better compensation strategies? When I go shopping, I am overwhelmed by the large amount of different products (of the same ingredient, e.g.) and feel myself lost between the shelfs. Situation is getting worse when advertisement and loud music i... |

| make sense ... i also told my first therapist that I have possibly bipolar disorder. He did not even fully agree with me but he treated me like I was one. However, most of the time he didn't know anything about my Klinefelter syndrome and possible associations with development disorders. Therefore, ... |

| there is a relatively new paper on this topic, e.g. ncbi.nlm.nih . gov/pubmed/24655419 (still waiting for full text) and there is plenty of information linking both syndromes: Many of the education needs of boys with KS are similar to those of boys with Asperger's Syndrome. Ironically, most parents ... |

| all psychiatrists seem to diagnose someone with depression in the first place. don't know why. maybe because the assurance will pay it then? at least in europe, that's the case. since depressions prevent from a normal life, from school/studies/work, while all the other behavior is not so relevant, i... |

| I was curious to know what symptoms your doctor noticed in you from observation that led to the testing in the first place, not reading a general link. I feel I owe you all a bit more detail so here it is: Some of the things that were really problematic for me when I was younger were things like pa... |

| Doubt it's correlated to ASDs... But being sexy creatures, we're all subject to a little scrambling in that area. So there is a link, if your body is not genetically disposed to processing hormones correctly, it does have a neurological impact in addition to the physical impact. That's a quite inte... |

| Hi, I'm new here. I diagnosed myself with Asperger's because I have genotype XXY and some of the ASD traits are also listed in XXY traits (formally better known under Klinefelter's syndrome which only describes the phenotype which is not necessarily present with every XXY male).
