Aspergers and ADD -- Dysfunctional Duo!

This might become part of a series..i dunnow...I talk a little about being an undiagnosed aspie with ADD symptoms.
I would like to go into more stuff...like the lack of resources for people like me...The difficulties with normal adult activities, such as friendships, finding a job, driving a car, the perils and annoyances of having somewhat severe executive dysfunction....um...etc....
I have noticed that there are alot alot alot of Aspie videos on Youtube, and so while in some ways, I am sorta jumping on the band wagon, it is only because it is kinda nice to be able to be heard. It is not something that can be easily talked about outside of aspie forums and whatnot. As I mention..i did have a few other "aspie videos posted a while back, but I got self-conscious and removed them...I actually joined You Tube in the first place so that i could post a video on Wrong Planet about a year ago...(www.wrongplanet.net is one of the forums I am addicted to)

Undiagnosed aspie? :/ Self diagnosed.

@littlebluepill0 Did youREAD any of the comments and stuff accomanying this vid? I may seem gregarious and such on the youtube cause I have777 vids (MOST of them not about AS, though some of my original songs are)..Were you to meet me in person, it is likely that you would not ''meet" me An amputee is not an amputee just because the doc declares their arm is missing...I grew up in the 80's there were a lot less labels back then, it seems.

I think you are awesome! Some people are humane, all are human. ADD is now "inattentive" ADHD, I'm told. That's definitely what I have. On a scale from 1 to 10, I'm about 9.3. (Test scores; I'm oddly proud of 'em.) Think I am somewhere on the "functional" end of the autism spectrum, too, although I have managed to become really good at eye contact through constant practice. Try staring at the bridge of the nose! xoxo, JD.

@badbassjd nono...can't stare at bridge of nose...I stare at the whole being....mostly the shirt,,I see the eyes and such..just can't look into them can't stand accidentally touching them...etc.....HATE that..unless they are my comfort person..then I am pat pat pat pat very tactile...it's a stim

@littlebluepill0 Nono...I later received official assessment of having Aspergers...from a specialist at an AS center...and another doc wrote me down for PDD_NOS...I am receiving treatment for my ADD symptoms..and for anxiety...You should not give kneejerk slantymouth just cause a person was not caught as a child...High function autism was not on the radar when I was in school..nor was ADD..I grew up with developmental probs and symptoms..from a very early age
