having other Disabilities???

Post Reply New Topic

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hypermobile type - connective tissue disorder, my joints dislocate *very* easily), syringomyelia (and a lot of other spinal trouble), major depression, central sleep apnea (brain forgets to breathe; a lot of other sleep issues, too), chronic myofascial pain, peripheral sensory axonal loss, osteoarthirtis, generalized anxiety disorder...

I have ADD, anxiety, and learning difficulties.

I have had depression in the past and suffered an eating disorder for years since my teens and now I am better. Screw what my teacher said.

I was also diagnosed with dyspraxia, cluttering, and sensory processing disorder in my pre teens. I also had hearing loss when I was a baby and was diagnosed with autism when I was 2 or 3. Then it was changed to autistic behavior when I was four or five because of my past hearing loss and then I was labeled as being multi handicapped. It was also changed to communication disorder and I am not sure how old I was then when they changed it to that label. OCD had also been mentioned in my pre teens.

I also have very mild scoliosis but it doesn't effect me.

I also had seizures in 6th grade.

Severe OCD, bipolar disorder, and mild psychosis. I've also had frequent severe headaches since I was 11. I'm pretty sure I have atypical neuralgia.

along with AS, i have ADD (or ADHD inattentive, whichever you want to call it), scoliosis, possibly fibromyalgia (i have a decent bit of back pain at 18, and have had it for years, but according to some doctor scoliosis can't ever cause back pain and since my mom has fibro maybe it's that), bipolar and/or depression (undiagnosed), and BIID (yay mental illnesses...)

i'm actually officially diagnosed NLD, but i think it's actually AS (since it fits me MUCH better, since NLD doesn't have obsessions supposedly which is one of my biggest problems)

oh, i'm also dysgraphic so they taught me to type in school earlier than the other kids. =P
