I mostly think in pictures and actions. I can think with other stuff but its not as natural.
I do take meds but Asperger's itself cannot be medicated. Most people with an aspergers diagnosis have a few other diagnoses as well and some take meds for those things. I am also diagnosed with schizoaffective and adhd and take meds for those but there are no aspergers meds. It is rare to find someone who will only have 1 mental health diagnosis.
Yeah, I noticed that some will take pills for insomnia, or depression. But the stimming and other stuff doesn't go away.
I think it is interesting that you can have a co-morbidity with schizoaffective disorder. I will have to read more on that. I saw on some Asperger's forums people were arguing as to whether you could also be bipolar, or have a personality disorder, but I'm going to look to more legitimate sources, I guess you can say.
Someone can have a combination of anything. Psych labels simply mean you have so many traits of the label. Nobody is going to fit into one thing perfectly. Its obvious to me none of the psych labels even have a specific and consistant cause the way something like diabetes or cancer does. They are just used to identify what type of problems someone is having and that people with similar traits often respond to similar treatment, which is often untrue.
Is it normal that I question Asperger's Syndrome?
