- I have Asperger Syndrome which is an autism spectrum condition and a full diagnosis of Adult ADHD which are characterised by impairments in social communication, social interaction and social imagination. I also have a rigid and somewhat unpredictable routine. I also experience obsessive rituals, some a bit overwhelming. But I have a talent in articulate creative writing skills and possess a photographic rote memory. I have sensory sensitivity and get upset by loud noises, bright colours or lights, and notice the texture and consistency of certain foods more making my dietary choices extremely limited or restricted to certain food components. I dislike conflict and lies. The Adult ADHD also makes me very moody and cross.
Hi,
I'm a type 2 47-year-old person with Asperger Syndrome and Psychotic Depression with Personality Disorder NOS thrown in. I struggle with my diabetes and find it very difficult to look after my health. I have a very inactive lifestyle indeed but I'd like to have the motivation to do more with my life. I have a PA who comes to my flat to prompt and motivate me. I used to smoke roll-ups but am now 5 days quit and am on a smoking cessation programme from NHS smoke-free.
Please help. I would welcome any advice.
