Hello Everyone

[Guest guest]

My name is . I'm not sure that this is the group for me, but in

surfing around for support groups, I decided to check out some groups

here in .

I am a 49yo. guy with one child. She is 25yo. and is having many of

the same issues as I.

When I was about 6 or 7 years old I was dx'd dyslexic. In '87 I was

dx'd Bi-Polar. Since then I have been dx'd ADD, having traits of OCD

and BPD. I respond fairly well to the old traditional BP meds, but I

need others to make them work more fully. I also seem to develop a

tolerance to them. Over time, I'm taking the maximum doses allowable,

supplimented by mood stableizers.

A friend of mine is a Ph.D. in Early Child Development. She tells me

that there is now scientific opinion, if not fact, that people of

this description may actually be misdx'd, and are actually Asperger's.

This is why I am exploring the possibilities. I have 2 doctors, a

Psychiatrist and a Psychologist that are very open-minded about this

and are asking for information from a first-person perspective.

Thanks for the ear.

Dave
