Sometimes I wish I had more than Asperger's syndrome and some kind of dperession or other. There's a whole book of ABC disorders, and I have one!

• ADHD — I used to have it, but I lost it after developing better organization skills and was diagnosed with AS instead.
• OCD — I used to have it but not anymore.
• Dyslexia — Because it goes with ADHD
• CD — Because it goes with the ADHD and dyslexia
• Hyperlexia — So what if it contradicts having dyslexia?
• Tourette syndrome — — I want to be caprolalic!
• Recurrent explosive diarrhea syndrome (REDS) — It would be fun. Now got to run!
• Bipolar disorder (BP) — The lows suck, but the highs must be fun.
• ABC Disorder — It's the most infamous of them all.
• Jackonine Disorder — It's always nice to have.
  

I kinda sometimes wish I was bipolar or ADD instead of AS. At least i used to. and everything yo u listed as well.

I would additionally like to be crowned with Savant Syndrome

I wish I weren't bipolar, actually. It complicates things. Having AS and ADD is enough.

Tourette's would be interesting though. Maybe. If I ould shut it off after trying it out.

*scans the list* what, no superpowers?

I want Synesthesia.
And i want sneezing to cause a spontaneous orgasm.
And i kind of want schizophrenia. But not the paranoid kind.

i totally agree i would love synesthesia

I don't wish for anything else; I already have enough on my plate.

You DON'T want depression. At least not the kind I have. The kind I had for years before, the murderous understimulated but whole in soul kind I was proud of, and knew I could use it in a positive way, like joining the Armed Forces or something. But my kind nobody will ever want. What you meant you wanted was probably the kind I used to have!

Excuse me for saying so - but this is ridiculous. Why would anyone wish another disorder on themselves? You know there's a saying: *Thank God I don't have anyone else's problems*. There's a lot of sense in that. Think about it.

Synesthesia fascinates me. I wish I had it too. I'm kind of surprised I don't, actually. I'd like to trade in my Central Auditory Processing Disorder for Synesthesia.

I am a synaesthete and it's overrated, I promise. I really thought (long ago) everyone was similarly endowed. I can hear color/light, and see sound. From physics, when an excited electron drops back range, energy is released in the form is light, sound, heat, energy. So I do not think at all it's contrived that one would be a synaesthete. I do use this in the laboratory. For instance, I can tune a sonicator with my eyes. A sonicator emits ultrasonic wavves, which I always see as yellow. If it's not yellow, that sonicator is not tuned properly! Then, if the instrument if out of tune, I'll see yellow orange. See, it works. Otherwise, it's a pain. Overhwhelming, seizure-inducing way too much sensory overload information: an avalanche of data. So, I don't think being a synaesthete is that great or dramatic at all.

For those who have serious disorders, such as chronic depression, paranoid schizophrenia, etc. I do feel sad since they truly do suffer, and that's just not fair. I think being a HFA is enough! I have plenty to overcome with that, I promise! Rough. No one understands (or cares) what I think/feel/sense. I must translate to be understood.

Back to topic: If I had a wish list of comormidity, how about Spontaneous Human Combustion! Now that's exciting! Impressive even.

Well, I would trade Aspergers for synæsthesia but I sure wouldn't want another condition in addition to Aspergers.

Oh, and Nomaken, I must say that avatar really creeps me out.

I wish large genitalia were commorbid with Aspergers.

Or are we supposed to stick to real commorbid disorders?
