Boys & Girls with co-morbids?? (for Viper)

[Tylers-mum]

Hope this is what you wanted Viper.

[Suze]

Have a son with 2 co-morbids.

[Gordie]

I'm still waiting to find out what co-morbids are!

 

I see now ...

Comorbid conditions, or comorbidities, are those conditions that happen to occur at the same time. Another term for this would be "dual diagnosis." Many people with AD/HD have one or more additional diagnoses, such as depression, substance abuse disorders, a learning disability, ODD, or some other condition.

Thanks, lil me.

 

I'll count myself as a "boy" then.

Thanks Tylers mum, you're brill.

 

Lil me, It's only ASD's that are included so your NT son wont need to be in the poll.

 

I have one of each with the boy having 2 co-morbids.

 

Viper.

[elainem]

my ds has ASD were you using AS for ASD also - I answered that way anyway!

[Tylers-mum]

No problem Viper!

 

Umm, forgot to answer the poll! Off I go..... LOL

[Tylers-mum]

T is HFA so I guess that'll be AS then. He's co-morbid too.

[LKS]

Hi Viper I have one of each son has 2 comorbids daughter 3 (so far!)

[Tylers-mum]

Ohh Poop!!

My fault for not concerntrating but I selected the wrong one! I selected #1 instead of #4.

Disregard my answer in the poll ok and add me to number 4! LOL

[stressedmumto2]

Can I ask what NT is.

 

Thanks

[smiley]

One boy, AS, getting to be far too many co-morbids..........

 

Stressedmumto2 - NT and all the other abbreviations can be found in the Jargon Buster - at the top of the main page. Hope this helps xxx

If you ask him nicely, Lufty can "undo" your poll vote for you, allowing you to vote again and get it right!

 

He did that for me recently when I made a similar mistake.

[ceecee]

Well I voted girl with as with one co-morbid.I have ocd as well.Is this included???

[mandyque]

I don't really know, she may have OCD but as that is an autistic trait then I would call it simply autism on its own. She has learning difficulties because of her autism, making it difficult for her to learn, how do you separate each aspect and when do you say 'it's just autism'?

[fiorelli]

Have voted for: Boys with AS and 1 or more Co-morbids

[UltraMum]

J has ADHD and severe pragmatic disorder but I don't know how much the second is just part of his HFA ...

[mossgrove]

One boy with Aspergers and Dyspraxia

One boy with ASD and ADHD

 

Simon

[lindy-lou]

as well as the ASD indias being assessed for hypersensitivity,dont know if thats a comorbid or not?

[lil_me]

With the comorbid it is usually classed as a seperate diagnosis, and one which is not better described by another condition. For example my son was first diagnosed with OCD and Hypersensitivity, but these are part of his ASD so no longer on his medical diagnosis. His ADHD and Dyspraxia diagnosis has stayed.
