and need for routine? Or is those pure aspergers traits?

Other conditions can include those symptons. If I'm not mistayken OCD for example does.

From what I know of it, people with Borderline personality disorder often have obsessions similar to those of people with Asperger's. My Borderline friends certainly do.

Yeah I have those same things that you spoke of. I'm dxed with Aspergers, OCD, and some ADHD tentices.

I'm currently seeing a doctor for my OCD. I could easily fit most of the AS criteria, and really can't find any major differences between myself and you guys. However, I can only speak for myself.


OCD is an anxiety disorder. It's characterized by obsessive thoughts (unwanted) and compulsive behaviour (to release anxiety).
For a person with OCD, their obsessions are unwanted.

I have both wanted and unwanted obsessions. For instance, If I spend all my time reading about a specific topic, this is voluntary. If I feel the need to walk through a doorway 5 or 10 times because I belive something will happen if I don't, this is involuntary.

I find social interaction very difficult. Routine change. Decision making (can't choose between the possibilities. this goes for sarcasm as well;) Motor clumsiness. sensory issues.


It's possible to have some autistic traits, even though you can't be diagnosed.
