Hello I am new here on these boards and I want to introduce myself.
I am female, 24 years old and I suspect / I am suspected to have Aspergers syndrome.
My childhood was very good and normal but I have always been kind of different, I always felt it, as I had strange interests and thoughts and kind of a strange feeling towards my environment, troubles concentrating and very big problems to understand practical tasks or things I am not quite interested in.
I was a good pupil in primary and secondary school until I failed at mathematics and physics in high school.
Then with working life I had big problems with my troubles concentrating, clumsiness and not-understanding of simple tasks and so I didn`t have my workplaces for a long time.
A good friend of mine,dx`ed with ADHD told me something about his disorder and as I read about it I found myself in very many symptoms and features.
I was searching for psychiatric help for my daily problems and finally my friend and me were right-I had adult ADHD. They also diagnosed me with some mood syndromes, derealisation (non-traumatic cause), panic attacks and hyperacitivity.
I began to read a lot about ADHD in the internet and so I sometimes also read about Aspergers syndrome, but I didn`t really believe it, yes I have eye contact, communication and some empathie-showing problems (related to small things) and I most often like it being alone reading about my interests. But I never thought of really having it until I was in a therapy session and the therapist told me I may have Aspergers syndrome.
The past few years I think I have gone worse, I often don`t care much about my appeareance for some time and my communication with many people got worse.
Sometimes I only lie in my bed and surfing the net all day long, reading only about one or some few things for months.
That was also as a child but has gone worse over the past years.
Often I have repetitive hyperacitve body movements especially when listening to music and then I may seem like a 7 year old handicapped child...but I am always alone in the room when I get hyperactive
My interest topics are in the geographical, scientifical, nutritional, medical and psychological and historical fields, sometimes I also read a lot about bad things like murder, crime and political issues.
But my "interest no.1" always lasts for months and even years...sometimes these interests have some connection to myself and my life, sometimes they are quite unrelated.
Also have bouts of delusions, like someone searching informations about me or someone reading my thoughts, but they normally only last for some minutes or hours.
My life often feels like being on a wrong planet or on some life-long drug trip, but most often realising that I am the "strange part" in this game.
I also suspect having a medical problem, because in the past few years some strange things and symptoms happened to me and I also have hormonal problems (quite irregular periods,maybe even infertility) since puberty.
I strongly feel that it could have something to do with my liver or some chemical imbalances (but I am not thinking that the organ is really damaged)- but I have very many signs and I suspect that it may be an iron disorder or something similar.
Also my intuition is often quite good, sometimes even my dreams come true in a similar manner the next day.
I will get checked for AS and also my medical problems in some few months because I want/have to keep my work for insurance before I will get tested for anything in the future.
Did anyone of you also read about connections between liver and other metabolic disorders and mental problems??
There is alot of information on the internet, describing about disorders of the thyroid or the liver affecting human`s brain function and emotions.
So that was enough for my introduction, a little bit too much to read for my first post...
Best regards,
tara ;D
