I also forgot to mention intellectual/developmental delays as things I think I have.

. Asperger Syndrome
. Bipolar Disorder
. Social Phobia with panick attacks
. one episode of Schyzophrenia (extreme paranoia, hearing voices)
. Selectiv Mutism
. Synesthesia

Although, the much I learn about, the much I think Asperger is not a malady. The same goes for Synesthesia.

Sorry, I have to correct people. You can be diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome if you have ASD ONLY if your tics are injurious. I am looking at the DSM-V (since I own it) right now and I see no mention of Tourette's not being able to be diagnosed if you have ASD so I don't know. Here is two links that says they can be diagnosed at the same time:
http://www.autismdailynewscast.com/auti ... urel-joss/
http://www.autism-help.org/comorbid-tou ... autism.htm
So nevermind, you can have Tourette's and autism at the same time, whether it is injurious or not.

Oh, and the injurious thing is actually part of Stereotypic Movement Disorder, not Tourette's. I knew I read the injurious thing somewhere. Hope this helps

You're right. I apologize.

EDIT: I could probably add anxiety to the original list, but that's largely cleared up, despite ever-mutating strains of depression.

No, it's okay. As stated, I have a tendency to correct people. It's just part of me. I am trying less and less, but the psychologist who diagnosed me said that my face shows an expression that I have something to say when I want to correct people, so I can't hide this trait from people even if I don't say anything. People will ask what I have to say and then I would say I want to correct them. I am very smart in general knowledge according to my psychologist assessment (only for neurodevelopmental disorders), being in the 91 percentile for it.

Also, for me, I have social anxiety with panic attacks technically.

Now:
High functioning autism-diagnosed
Not a mental disorder but sometomes nervous about other people's intention, anxiety but not disorder level.
I think most of my issues are due to how my personality is. It's difficult to act different and think different when you have done things a certain way most of your life.
Past:
Selective mutism - diagnosed when was a child
Generalised anxiety disorder- not officially diagnosed but strongly suspect had this for over 10 years

I used to think I had OCD (hence my username) as a teenager but I don't think so anymore.

*Sorry for the functioning label but those are the exact words on my assessment . This was 16 years ago you know.
