Gosh will you look at the time!

Woohoo. It's 4:51am. I'm awake. I finished my book and started a new one. I took a bath. I did a little school work. I only have one dose of my sleeping meds left so I didn't take anything last night (tonight? I always trip up on how to word this), figuring it will be more important to be rested tomorrow (Tuesday), because I have to take Dominic ( Read more... )

And don't forget Asperger's Syndrome, which can masquerade as ADHD and has a high rate of comorbidity with all of the other disorders you mention.

(Have been reading a lot since I realized the diagnosis fits me perfectly, and has since age 3 or so, am considering seeking a diagnosis to have access to some useful programs)

I don't fit the profile for Asperger's though.

Understood! But in the household I live in (my boyfrend + his other primary girlfriend) we have

Person 1: ADD diagnosis + bipolar 2 diagnosis + some add'l Asperger traits

Person 2: bipolar 2 diagnosis + strong likelihood of Asperger and/or ADD (psych says proper diagnosis will happen after bipolar is finally controlled)

Person 3: ADD diagnosis + Asperger diagnosis in progress + some OCD traits (me)

It's actually pretty dull around here, but interesting to see all the clustering. All are the rare (esp for women) INTP,

It's probably hilarious to watch all three of us walk into the kitchen independently but simultaneously, and get distracted by finding other humans so that nobody remembers what they went in to accomplish. Ha!
