I've got anxiety. I've had it for years. Drives me up the wall some days because due to it I second guess literally almost every single small choice I make. Strangely though it's not social anxiety, as seems to be common for us. Mine's the generalized type.

This is not asperger's related (that I know of,) but I also stutter. That combination of disorders gets 'interesting' at times.

At first I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, but over the years this has been refined to dysthymia and, of course, Asperger syndrome.

Other than Asperger's, I have MAJOR Obsessive-compulsive disorder. It literally takes over my life. I've always wondered what it was like without it. I also have epilepsy, but I'm not sure if that has to do with Asperger's at all or not.

I have OCD tendencies and PTSD (Not caused by the AS though). I wonder though if as I get older if the OCD tendencies are getting more diagnosable for me.

I have mentioned before that I have ADHD, but I found out recently when I received my AS diagnosis, that I am in the 97th percentile for ADHD, which is astronomical. I doubt I could function at all without meds. It certainly explains why I can't read or write posts that are more than a couple of paragraphs

There is a list of disorders that are associated with asperger's and people with asperger's have a better chance of having it, such as tourette syndrome,OCD, depression disorders, anxiety disorders. Like me, i have tourette syndrome and an anxiety disorder? tell me your story with this thread!

Yes, my psychologist in Kamloops also diagnosed me with a learning disability (LD-NOS), with depression and social anxiety. I also have stims/tics that seem like Tourette syndrome but less severe. Many Aspies have stims (similar but less severe than Tourette tics) that happen intermittently but not totally uncontrollable.
