I'm new. :D

I'm married and have kids. I'm a pain in the butt but at least we figured out why. :twisted:

I have now been diagnosed with both Asperger's Syndrome and ADHD. I have started Straterra for the ADHD and that seems to help some. Though the less ADHD I am the more Aspie I seem to be.

Anyways, I was told that this site is a good place to learn more and so here I am.

I have read a few survival guides and it was very interesting to see that some of my struggles are quite common.

Though I think I owe my wife several vacations. I had no idea...

Correction/Clarification:

My psychologist diagnosed me with Asperger's after doing an assessment including taking info from family. I've been this one for awhile now.

I saw a new psychiatrist recently who said ADHD during our first session.

The psychologist explained to me that ADHD is typically first observed and it is Asperger's that follows after a period of time if indeed you are in spectrum.

So, I learned something new. :D
