I guess Anthony prompted me to write a new blog post. I've not been keeping it up to date because I have lots of blogs now and most of the others are making money, so I've been concentrating on them.
One bit of news is that although I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome and High Functioning Autism at the same time I was diagnosed with ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia, I did not really take the Apergers seriously because I didn't believe I was autistic.
Another common misconception!
Not only do I have aspergers and autism, but we all know someone (or several people - I know lots) who also have it. The vast majority of people with Austism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have not been diagnosed. In fact if they have been diagnosed with anything, it is often depression or bi-polar disorder.
I suspect a lot of people with behavioural problems are somewhere on the Autism Spectrum, and I also believe a higher percentage of celebrities have it, as they feel they need to prove themselves more after finding communication so challenging. There's no shortage of 'odd' celebrities. (I can say 'odd' as an oddity myself).
As this blog is entitled ADHD Dyslexia Dyspraxia Info, it makes sense to have a separate blog for Aspergers and Autism, for keyword and search purposes.
So that's the update: I have Aspergers and High Functioning Autism.
I don't think anyone has ever thought of me as 'high functioning' in my life. But then, it is compared to Low Functioning Autism.
