Aspervlog #6: Hidden Disorder

In which I discuss the hard parts of being high-functioning.

So I got a B because of my Asperger's. Should I dispute it? The way I see it, Asperger's lets me get many A's, so perhaps I should let a B go.

Leave a question in the comments and I'll answer it!

If you want to communicate easier with me, the best and fastest way is through Facebook (Search Nicole D'Angelo) or via e-mail at nicole.m.dangelo@gmail.com. The best ways to chat with other Aspies for me has been through Facebook groups which I can recommend to you directly through Facebook if you "friend" me. Hope that's helpful!

Awesome! I can't wait to hear from you!!! Oh and you can call me Whitney. I was also wondering if while trying to figure out your diagnoses, if other people told you that you didn't have Aspergers, and maybe you were bipoloar, and crap like that?

@WhitneyBowring1987 Hi, Whitney! In another video I think I talk about this in more detail, but I was diagnosed with OCD, Panic Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder before being diagnosed with AS (OCD is the only other diagnosis which has stuck). When I talked to my pediatrician about Asperger's she tried to blame my "quirks" on my intelligence. She told me all "gifted" kids are a little weird and I shouldn't worry about anything. It was extremely frustrating.

Hi! Thanks so much for your videos! They are all very informative and helpful! I have a few questions for you. 1.) Do you have any "stims"? I have been talking with my counslour and he thinks I may have aspergers. I may be getting tested or whatever soon. I have watched countless videos, and read many many things about aspergers. Many but not all of the symptoms match me spot on. I guess I could say more of the shapes fit in the box than not. Are there many types of stims?

@WhitneyBowring1987 Thanks for watching! I'm glad you find my videos helpful. All your questions are very good. I have a cold right now, but when I get over it I'll be sure to address them in a video.:)

Here's my question; being as musical gifted as you are, you must get songs stuck in your head sometimes. Can you see the songs in your head the same way you do with actual music? Also, do you get songs stuck in your head often?

Hi its Declan again and i've got a new question for you. If we start to stress out how do we stop ourselves from lashing out our temper? Because I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters who are really annoying!

P.S. I really love the videos! :>

Thanks for answering my question!!

Thanks for replying so quickly. Do you know of an easier way to communicate? Or do you know of any good aspi chat rooms, that you have used before? I can't seem to find any.
