- 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.
I've been having weak and tired legs, pangs of nausea, abdominal bloating/discomfort, light-headedness and feeling faint. I'm a hyperglycaemic insulin-resistant type 2 diabetic with Asperger Syndrome and Adult ADHD. I've had a great number of stressful life situations owing to my disabilities and have an ill father of 87 years of age in hospital with low haemoglobin who is insulin-dependent type 2 and has had heart attacks in the past.
