hypochondriacs

Post Reply New Topic

How many of us become hypochondriacs, do we try to see symptoms everywhere. I mean if you don't know the symptons well, are we looking at each and one thing that pops up as something that could be Aspie too?

I do see some of that. The trouble is that every Aspie trait is something an NT could do and, if he didn't have any other Aspie traits, still be an NT. Autism seems to be the extreme end of a spectrum that extends across neurotypical as well.

i hate that.. personally, i only try to label something if it really needs it.. if you have to have that explanation.. otherwise, everyone suffers from SOMEthing.. it is my belief that every disorder is special, therefor it's kind of hard to place a label on it.. unless there is actually damage to your brain or an abnormality in that sense..

Many neurological and mental conditions have spectrums like that, which fade into the normal. Just about every mental illness does. Learning disabilities and ADHD don't have clear cut-offs, either.

Yeah no doubt, and chances are if you suffer from one disorder then you most likely suffer from something else aswell.. there is hardly ever singular disorders.. even if you're not quite aware of what they are
