Aspergers assessment: scraps AS and goes for ADHD in 5 mins!

=/ So some people with bipolar see bipolar traits in you, and you piss them off? I don't understand...

I'm not easy to piss off, and that has little to do with bipolar, but the nature of bipolar is that you can become almost like a different person. When I'm hypomanic, someone relaxing pisses me off. But getting into my autistic friends special interests suit me just fine, even if she talks more, and ignores my pressurised speech because we can still kinda pay attention to both of us talking at the same time.
When depression I get less annoyed by people because I shut myself away I guess.
I dunno bipolar people having things in common sounds like saying people with one leg have personality traits in common, I don't understand why it'd show anything but similar personalities regardless of their mood disorder.

Maybe I've misunderstood yet again though?



If I do have AD(H)D, I think it'd be more to do with my intelligence. =3 hyuk hyuk Of course.

I think maybe these people have or had something in common within their spectrum that caused them to get irritated with me.

As it seems Maybe I am irritating you right now.

I think that these 3 in particular are looking for me to appreciate them more or some thing. Maybe because I do not verbalize appreciation they don't misunderstand.(as in jumping for joy when they enter the room) IDK but they all have been diagnosed as Bipolar, but only one has major meltdown episodes followed by very strange behavior.

Again though how they were diagnosed IDK
How they are wired and what else could be going on nobody knows.
Does bipolar cross the schizophrenia and asperger lines? My mother has schizophrenia and we are oil and water but a friend also has it and I think she's the nicest person. However now that I think of it the meltdown lady and my mother have problems with wanting to take meds. maybe that has something to do with it. again IDK I just try to avoid them as I make them furious.

No you're simply confusing me.
If people are more hypo they might be more irritable. Many depressed people may be irritable depressives. I'm an apathetic depressive however. It's kinda hard to irritate me.

If they had Borderline personality disorder, I'd assume their characteristics are more stable, and predictable, and thus you might find it's to do with their personality that they find aspects of you annoying.
But bipolar isn't to do with personality, so I'd assume it were either to do with perhaps what kind of mood they were in and if they all have similarities in that (again, irritable mania or depression) or they just are similar personalities. I mean I'm sure you annoy people who don't have mood disorders.

Or maybe you're just annoying.
I annoy just about everyone. Either I'm too expressive or not enough. Too energetic, or too apathetic. Too verbal or not enough.
haha

Considering my list of friends... I guess you're right

I'm fine when people don't like me for a justifiable reason.

But some girls at uni apparently don't like me. When they walk by they repeat 'Oh I'm so tired' because I am often tired and said this once when I yawned and someone pointed it out. >.>
I think they're trying to bully me. Bless them.

That's not ADHD, though. Anyone who doesn't get enough sleep will experience something like ADHD symptoms. However, if I got enough sleep, food, etc. I would still have ADHD because it is not something that I have because of my environment or what I am doing at any given time.



That neuro-scientist was wrong, unfortunately, and 28 more years of research since he told you that supports that ADHD is a neurological, developmental disorder, and not based on any of these things. It's not a precursor to a larger issue, ADHD is a larger issue all on its own. Some of the things you listed can make ADHD worse, but ADHD will still exist without any of those things. It is one of the most highly heritable disorders in the DSM - even moreso than autism. It is also one of the most impairing outpatient conditions in the DSM, being more impairing than conditions like depression.
