auditory processing disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, tourettes, ADHD [inattentive subtype], avoidant personality disorder, arthritis in SI joints and other places, scoliosis 15 degrees t8-t14, one leg roughly an inch shorter than the other, etc. I was assembled at quitting time on a Friday afternoon, out of cast-off leftover parts, it would seem. :alien:

Not to take it off the funny note which does hit things on the 'spot,', but all of this stuff is interconnected with the central person who is interconnected with everything else, so to think of being autistic as the central disorder misses seeing something really very important about the world and oneself probably tends to feed into and reinforce whatever kind of disorder or disorders one really does have and may even lead to further disorder. This is not implying to not think about oneself and the problems one does have, but there are different ways to think about things, some more productive than others.

Good thread, though:-).

You can be diagnosed with StPD and autism at the same time? I did not know that.

Not trying to pick on you, though. I had just been reading about it.

You kind of lost me here. :scratch: But what you said sounds really interesting, so would you mind explaining more?

Thanks!

I know that knowing a person online isn't the same as knowing them in person, but you don't seem like you have schizotypal personality disorder to me. Back in the olden days when you were a kid :D - did they even know what the heck they were doing?
