Hi everybody! I am 16 years old, and I am self-diagnosed with Asperger's.
I also have Tourrette's, transient tics, OCD, and Schizophrenia. Those are official instead of self-diagnosed.
Most people take Schizophrenia the wrong way. We are everyday people that just happen to sense and perceive things differently than others. Yes, we may "see" or "hear" things that you can't see, but that doesn't make us crazy.
Most of my symptoms started early and were more commonly seen at my biological fathers house. That is because I had a lot of problems over there. They treated my brothers and sister better than me. My "room" was the basement under the septic. I couldn't be myself. I was pretty much isolated in the basement every week for half a week. That's when the Schizophrenia was at it's highest peak, as was the Tourette's.
The Asperger symptoms started not long after I had my MMR shot. When i started school, I was always by myself, and could sit in one place for hours at a time. I didn't talk at all until the 7th grade and the. I was socially awkward. By high school, I was still "different" than the other students, but I learned how to blend into the social norms. I stayed in high school for 1 and a half years until I started having panic attacks at least once every week, which is why I am currently home schooled.
I am now on a gluten free diet, ( which helps TREMENDOUSLY! ) and I still have social interactions out of school.
