Q: Aspergers genetic ?

I don't perfectly fit the Aspergers diagnosed. I get obsess with things, and have the urges to walk around so I could think better, and be more productive. I have a hard time forcing. History of an eating disorder. I was extremes shy when I was younger. Had the fear of people judging me because I said something aloof. So I never knew how to act or what to said in social situation.

My doctor thinks I may be bipolar because I have symptoms of hypomania. Spikes of energy where my urges to move (ride bike) gets worst. And I think more productive, and sometimes feel happy.

My brother has Aspergers, long story when he was 13 years old within a day he did a 180 degree turn. When from a ADHD talkative child that walks around to a child with anger outburst, doesn't social with anyone, and pace around worst.

My cousin was born austim.

I am so tired of doctors diagnosis me with illness that don't hit the spot

I agree.

Asperger's is genetic in a sense, but not directly. I read some reserach that suggested that parents/ siblings of people with asperger's are more likely to have similar symptoms of aspergers but not necessarily the disorder. Or they are more likely to have similar disorders.

Mental disorders in general are complicated. And especially bipolar, it can manifest so differently in different people.
