In my early 30s , I was diagnosed with aspergers, and it suited me to a T.
Now there's a good chance it's some level of bipolar?

Problem is I'm on Abilify and it's indicated as helping both autism irritability and manic phases, so I'm not only confused but disheartened. I read that you can't be bipolar AND aspergers, is that still correct?

I was so scared, my head just became afraid of everything. I think I was planked, or something, still don't know but the point is I overreacted and wound up looking crazy as a fruit loop. I'm told my brother has bipolar but that's 2nd hand, but Effeexor put me in a medically induced mania years ago, so it's possible.

Is there anyone out there who has knowledge that may assist me here? I'm not self diagnosing, just trying to figure this riddle out. Truth is, I haven't asked the doctor yet what he thinks I have. I'm afraid to ask, because beyond PTSD and OCD, the only known is depressive episodes with irritability. Which could mean many things.

Thanks.
