Question 1

would a sensory integration disorder be a symptom of asperger's syndrome? my now 11yr old daughter was diagnosed as having an autism spectrum disorder 1yr ago. however when i'm speaking to others about her symptoms the first comment i hear usually is 'oh

Accepted Answer

Asperger's : Asperger's disorder is one of the autism spectrum disorders and is often diagnosed later in children who are higher functioning socially. Often such children are first diagnosed with sensory integration problems until the social issues become more predominant. Exaggerated skin sensitivity is common in autistic children, manifesting in irritation at the labels on clothing or certain fabrics. If your daughter is beginning to develop towards puberty the nipple sensitivity is common, and extreme sensitivity not surprising in an asperger's child. As to encopresis: it's not a common symptom, but it can occur as well as other bathroom habits (such as not wanting to wipe after defecation or using huge amounts of tissues)

i hope this is helpful

kind regards

Question 6

can i have aspergers with this diagnosis of f20.9 schizophrenia, unspecified and f84.0 autism spectrum disorder with social communication impairments. i didnt really get explained what type of schizophrenia i had and autism. i am diagnosed at 20?

Accepted Answer

: I believe you are asking whether these diagnoses might be incorrect. This sounds complex, and it is sensible for you to raise the question. I can say it is not impossible for these diagnoses to be correct -- they may be -- but you may wish to get a second opinion. I would also add that sometimes one can get hung up on labels and classification, when the real issues can be overlooked.
