Hi, I'm a dyslexic ADD aspie. I was diagnosed with AS and ADD aged ten. I later recognised dyslexic traits in myself and sort out diagnosis of dyslexia, which was confirmed at university when I was 21. I feel to have both the strengths and weaknesses of all three, so for example, whilst I am strong in my reasoning and perceptive abilities, I am often highly disorganised. So I was wondering is anyone else on wrongplanet also diagnosed with Asperger's, ADD and dyslexia?

Hm, not all of them.

I'm more HFA, I might have some ADD traits, but don't have it, but I also have dyslexia.
I was diagnosed with dyslexia with age 9 or something and with HFA with 21 or something.

Aspergers, some, but not enough ADD traits to be diagnosed and seff diagnosing Dyslexia utnil I can find a sutible specialist to do so. I'm self diagnosing this with aproval from my psychiatrist. I'm diagnosed recently since may high level degree work contained textbook signs of it, 24 when diagnosed Aspergers.

Nice to see some other aspie dyslexics on here. However, it seems I'm still pretty unusual even on wrongplanet.

So far I know is the combination more common than average, but not that often.
I've also never met any other dyslexic autistics in person.
