What is Apergers?!


Question: i'm 14 now...it took me up until last year to learn how to put my hair up. I can't socialize worth a darn. It took me until i was age 7 to start talking. I was in 6th grade when i learned how to tie my shoes. Lack of eye contact...

I was diagnosed with NPD (Narcissistic personality disorder) Diagnosed with OCD in 5th grade. In 6th grade...diagnosed with ADD. Now my doctor thinks I have Autism. Actually he's thinking Apergers.

I was orphaned at age 9. Parents were killed in a car crash. I live with my grandma. I was diagnosed with Depression in 7th grade.

Can they NOT decide what's wrong with me? I take so many pills a day now...

ugh anyone know what Aspergers is?

Asperger's is on the Autistic spectrum. Some people believe it's just high functioning Autism and other people think it's a seperate diagnosis. Since you said that you had a delay in language considering you didn't start talking till age 7, it sounds like to me you have high functioning Autism. Asperger's don't have a delay in language and thats one major characteristic that sets it apart from Autism. To get a diagnosis, you will probably have to go see many professionals like a speech pathologist, medical doctor, neurologist, geneticist, psychologist, etc. A panel of individuals diagnose Autism not one person. Trouble socializing and lack of eye contact are characteristics of Autism. Do you have trouble with when something changes? Most like rountines that are the same and get upset when things change without warning. Unfortunately, you are like many other Autistic individuals who may have misdiagnosis over the years because no two autistic persons are the same, which makes it difficult to diagnose. I recommend going to the site

autismspeaks.org

It has support forums and a lot of information about autism. I know this might be a scary time for you, but you will get through this.

Asperger's is a mild form of autism.

Aspergers is just high-functioning autism. It means that you are a normal person with just a few mildly autistic traits. I have been diagnosed with that, too.

Do you watch America's Next top Model? Last season one of the girls on there has Aspergers. Below is a website you should check out. Sorry to hear about your parents, I lost my dad in a car wreck when I was young. Things will get better, dont let it get you down that the doctors dont know exactly whats wrong, sometimes it takes them a while to figure out whats really going on, they have to rule out other things..
