Yes I have Asperger’s Syndrome.

What is Asperger’s Syndrome?

Asperger’s Syndrome is the same diagnosis as Autism except it explicitly states no retardation or speech problems. The easiest way to think of Asperger’s Syndrome is to think of it as the opposite disorder from ADHD. Where ADHD’s can’t focus. I have an intense focus. Where ADHD’s often have a high pain tolerance, I have sensitivities to touch, smell, and lights and sounds. Where an ADHD will be attracted too many different things, I have specialized interests.
