My 11 yod has ocd and maybe aspergers.

[Guest guest]

I think my 11 yod who has OCD and GAD also has Aspergers. Just really feels

like a Piece of the puzzle is missing or something. She just doesn't " get " some

many things, like shows on tv or movies, in conversations. She takes things

literally and doesn't can't really seem to joke around or take them. She has a

hard time understanding others feelings and what they want or how they feel,

especially if it is not of interest to her. Lacks coordination. Dresses

sloppily, she also has sensory issues and wears clothes that are baggy and too

big. Will wear them for days in a row. Very hard to get along with and

stubborn. Socially and emotionally inappropriate behavior. Obsessed with the

show MASH, will watch the same ones over and over again.

Her therapist and I both at the same time thought about it. So she was going to

her dr. a specialist this past week so I talked to him about it and he says he

has seen some of it also. So he gave us a few copies of a questionaire to fill

out. So we will have to wait and see what he decides.

In the past she also goes through periods of time she has rages.

I think it is AS too.Here is why. Kids with OCD are bothered by their

obessions. They are distrubed by them. Your daughter enjoys

hear obsession with MASH. Also AS kids have a trait that is called

perservation of sameness. They don't want to change things. My daughter had a

meltdown a few nights ago because we were out of

DOVE soap. This was perservation of sameness. Her anxiety was

every bit as severe as OCD.

, my 12 year old is being evaluated for AS now. Some of the things you mentioned sound like her....the sloppy dressing, the lack of coordination, the obsession with one thing (at the moment the Warriors series of books. It is all she talks about)....I had not connected the sloppy dressing to AS, but it does make sense.
