I've been diagnosed w/ asperger's since I was 15. (I'm now 18; birthday 5/20; I hoped it's register'ed in here; Please let me know in a PM if it is/or isn't)

I love having AS. It allowed me to miss class once a week to go to my 'social skills training' at the school. I loved it. (but don't have it anymore since i'm not in high school anymore)

The skills they taught me allowed me to gain friends and be able to socialize in college, and to have a job here at college. I work at the Academic Computer Lab at my school. (MOLLOY COLLEGE; Let me know If I can post the link)

I was also diagnosed w/ borderline ADD what ever the 'borderline' part means; I dont know.

This lead me to your site so I could begin learning more about ADD and how to help my self. Thanks to this forum I am attempting to gain more and more stability in my life. Thanks.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Yah , I figured from your text signature that you were AS. There are several aspies in the forum and a few autistics who are HF, and a mixed assortment of others in the spectrum... so there is a small but growing community here.... who also happen to have ADD. :p

I think I would be tempted to interpret a diagnosis of "borderline ADD" as either "barely ADD" or as "almost ADD". You should probably ask your doc for clarification.
