I've been diagnosed bipolar for almost 25 years and have been active in drop-ins, support groups and forums and have only rarely come across people with both bipolar and Asperger's. On my old forum there was one or two people with bipolar and Aspergers. I got assessed for Asperger's once but the psychologist said i didn't have it because i understand idioms, make good eye contact and am too social.

I think Asperger's is cool. There is a character on "Parenthood" with it, a teen boy, Max. It causes him a lot of pain, tho, especially now that he is interested in girls and is getting rejected. I met a young boy in Vancouver who had it and he kept asking me if i had a lawyer! Fun!
