Question 6

what would be signs that you have gilberts sysdrome?

Accepted Answer

Yellow skin (maybe): Gilbert's is caused by a problem with an enzyme that works on bilirubin. The liver needs this enzyme to change bilirubin so it can be removed by the kidneys. People with gilbert's usually have an elevated unconjugated bilirubin on a blood test. In general, it causes no symptoms, but depending on the bili level, people can have jaundice (yellow skin). Maybe itching if that level is high enough.

Question 10

please describe the typical signs of a female with asperger's syndrome?

Accepted Answer

As for a male: Nobody really knows what this mixed gift is. It's supposed to be more common among boys. I've thought perhaps a girl with poor sports coordination, a bookish focus, and less ability to read others without thinking might be noticed less / worry the parents less and never have the diagnosis made. An aspie who learns diplomatic skills & has a socially useful focus is among the most likeable people.
