Know anyone with other Conditions?

Post Reply New Topic

I know several people that have ADHD; my hubby, a friend from work, and one of hubby's best friends. These are just the people that are officially diagnosed.
My husband and several of my friends ar dyslexic. One of my friends has been on meds for years for depression.

My additions to the mix are ADHD (combined type), panic disorder, and dyscalculia.

I have dyspraxia.

My cousin C1 - Dyslexia and mild epilepsy
My cousin C2 - ADHD
The best friend of my brother - ADHD
Ex classmate C. - Fragile-X
Ex classmate D1 - Fragile-X
Ex classmate D2 - Fragile-X, but he functions pretty well (About the use of word funcion - i don't know if it's the correct term)
Ex classmate G. - Mental retardation
Ex classmate R. - Down's

My cousin (mothers side) David had dyslexia.
My cousin (mothers side) Pamela is agoraphobic.
My uncle (dads side) has dissociative identity disorder (split personalities).
A guy in my sign language class has ADHD.
My mothers ex's daughter Paige is LF autistic.
My ex-flatmate Lisa generally has every mental health problem under the sun.
My ex-boyfriend Andrew is manic-depressive.
My ex-boyfriend Warren is HF autistic and also suffers from post traumatic stress.
My ex-boyfriend Graham has OCD, he also had some other mental health problem that he refused to discuss, I half suspect split personalities as his personality could shift very radically, but it's very likely that he actually suffered from schizophrenia.

In college I trained to be a teacher in the special needs classes on campus, we had about 20 students with various mental, emotional, physical and educational problems and of various ages, I remember we had a few kids with downs syndrome, possibly a couple of autistic students, and I think one girl had cerebral palsy...I think she may have also gone to my primary school for a very short time.

You know, starting my reply to this post I was struggling to think of more than two people.

I have a list of autistic, mental, intellectual learning and other differences like everyone,and so I have come to the conclusion we are all our own unique recipe.
