diagnosed dysthymia in 97.... anxiety, and social anxiety.... dyscalcula, and some executive functioning problems-- those are for sure, and I am still discovering things about myself, as I get older and it occurs to me that other people don't think the way I do... and as I get tired of symptoms, one by one, and seek treatment, more things come to light.... I am an adoptee, so I have to discover myself from scratch, as there is no one to compare myself to {if that makes sense}... finding my birth mother has led to several discoveries.... physically, I take after birthfather, mentally I take after birth mother, and she had a number of issues, but as she was very reclusive, nobody is certain exactly what all she had.... but she definitly had a number of issues. sigh. Imagine all the aspie stuff... and then not knowing anything about all the aspie stuff that you have - ! ! ! I'm a real puzzle, but it does seem that I don't suffer as much as others, but the unknown makes everything so much harder. Closed adoptions are cruel.
