What syndromes do you have?

Post Reply New Topic

What ones do you have besides the ASD or any of that. I was told that I have that and one called Degorgies syndrome I don't know much about it but I know it is a deletion of a section of chromosone 22 and I have it and it causes me to have some heart problems and I had open heart surgery when I was younger I had ASD and VSD heart problems and I would like to know does anyone else have several problems like me or know anyone like me? I am also wondering if It shortens life expectancy down because I think that if I have some genetic problem it would cause me to have lower life expectancy and another thing is that I also think that it causes low IQ because many times people have said to me that I was ret*d or called me names or said I was slow and I was wondering if this is also apart of the syndrome. I also got ASD with it as well and was wondering if AS is also apart of it. But I would like to know what other syndromes do you have besides ASD or AS?

Just because somebody calls you names like ret*d doesn't mean they're telling the truth. My son is called a moron, ret*d, etc, and he has a very high IQ. People with asperger's syndrome are often misunderstood by others, that's why we get called names, not because the names are true. According to what I've read DiGeorge syndrome doesn't cause people to be ret*d, although in general the IQ is on the low end of normal... which is to say, not ret*d. It can cause certain learning difficulties, but learning difficulties don't mean someone is ret*d, just that they have a different mental make up.

I also have dyscalculia, dyspraxia, schizoaffective disorder... and was diagnosed autistic when I was little, considered to have asperger's syndrome now. When I've had IQ tests my scores have been scattered between very high, and actually ret*d. (I got sixty in one of the mathematical tests. One hundred was normal, so now you know how bad my maths is!) IQ tests really don't matter that much. The fact is that you can read, write, communicate with people, express your thoughts and feelings. So don't worry if people call you names. They're idiots.

My son is also on the asperger's spectrum. His IQ levels out at the genius range, but his dyspraxia, dyscalculia and social anxiety are such that he often just freezes and can't communicate very well. This doesn't mean he's ret*d (though he's been called that) It just means that he struggles in certain situations.

You'll probably find a cluster of symptoms that we tend to share. Thank you for asking an interesting question.

Aside from having High Functioning Autism, I also have ADHD and a learning disability, as well as having Extremely severe anxiety and depression issues. I also have problems dealing with stress, even the slightest bit. I have been told of having Separation anxiety disorder and also having mild mental retardation as well.

But it sucks more that I look NT and I'm actually facing so many challenges with this. Its a daily struggle for me and my parents because everyone always throws the whole, "but you don't look disabled" line at you. I am lucky to just have my psychiatrist who manages my ADHD and Anxiety meds but even that doesn't help me all the time.

I have, Psychoid personality disorder, Adhd, OCD, Social anxiety disorder, and a learning disability and depression so i haven't been offically diagnosed but this is what they said i have.

Bipolar is my other Dx.

I've been diagnosed with other things in the past though. The list is Schizoid, Schizophrenia, Depression, and Narcissism. I think that's it.

I have severe Tourette syndrome. I used to have OCD but I managed to battle through it (it took 12 years!). There are suspicions I have ADHD as well.
