Hmm, maybe it's a misdiagnosis. Symptoms of ADHD, Bipolar and OCD are often overlapped within the diagnosis of Aspergers. People with Aspergers may often be misdiagnosed with depression because people on the spectrum have the tendency to get depressed.

People with ASD can often get upset easily and are often over sensitive meaning they are sometimes misdiagnosed with mood disorders such as Bipolar Disorder. Also people with ASD have the tendency to not be able to focus on their school work due to the fact they have an obsession with another subject.
