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.

  • My son has just been referred by the psychologist to the Social and Communication Assessment Team for possible ASD. He is also somewhat uncoordinated and has been referred to a paediatrian for possible dyspraxia.  He already has a diagnosis of dyslexia. I understand that ASD/dyspraxia/dyslexia are commonly co-morbid.
