Co-morbid Diagnoses

aspiemum

Hi

My 10 year old son has Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD and Hypermobility Syndrome (Elhers Danlos Syndrome 3?).  I know that Asperger's and co-morbid ADHD are very common but I thought my son's hypermobility was just an unlucky unrelated condition.  However a friend mentioned that it is also a very common condition amongst people with Asperger's.  I was wondering how many of you or your loved ones have these other conditions alongside Aspereger's.

  • Hi all,

    My son has AS, dyspraxia and hypotonia. We have felt all through his relativly short life (nearly 17) that everytime we saw his peadrirician he was being sent to another 'specialist' and we ended up with different dx's over time. I strongly believe we have now landed on the right mix!!lol! over the years we have had contact with many different people but now feel we are getting somewhere.

    Anyone else had difficulties with undiagnosable rash??? now put down to leaky blood vessels (two biopsys and many years later) although no idea why or what causes it and causes him  no problems other than a reaccuring rash all over his body.

    I sometimes wonder if it because of this mix of symptoms, that people have such a difficult time to get a dx and it seems to take so long. As it does seem very common for multiple dx's to be the end result.

    Been really interesting reading these threads makes you feel like you arnt alone with multiple issues going on.

    Thanks all
