I have done alot of research into Aspergers and Autism, beacause I have a son who is borderline Asperegers(think he gets that trait from me, didnt exsist when i was younger!!). OCD, Manic depression, tourettes they are all related, this does not mean if you have one you have the other but they overlap. Really they are all just personality types that someone had decided to give a name as they are in the minority. These things can not really be diagnosed for sure except in extreme or "textbook" cases, many symptons can be caused by so many diff things. you could say that Manic Depression is caused by OCD (or the other way around!!) .blink:
