The same but different

Hi my name is Megan Heller, I am thirteen and I have Aspergers,Arthritis and ADHD so lets get into MY story.I was diagnosed approximately two and a half years old went to Yale psychologist center to have her evaluation but she was at 6 months having OT and 1 years old PT,OT AND MOM HAD TO FIGHT FOR SPEECH THERAPY. 

I went to HASC a special ed school from ages 2-3. I help with things needed to be evaluated then a public school for about a year in kindergarten HANC teacher said better know now then later.To find out about my start for anxiety and add diagnoses because I couldn't sit still and had emotional breakdowns. Then I did better after medicated I did so much better and was a very smart kid if I do say so myself and had less emotional outburst increasing her ability to learn.


I was diagnosed at eleven years old with artherites but people thought I had lime disease and was tested and swelled up it felt stiff it was hard for me to walk. When tests showed clear my mother took me to a specialist called a rheumatologist. He had seen it was hereditary through my blood work. My mom and doctors had given me so many antibiotics which hadn’t worked my mom had to carry me out of bed but through the day I felt a little  better.


Emotionally and medically I am Embarrassed because no medication equals fights and major tantrums and medically I need to take medication three times a day and if I don’t have medication then it kinda controls where and when I go places.
Excuse to get out of things once in awhile and upset I can’t do certain things and Kulanu classes are done . My meds or treatment plan is such as lexapro, clonodine and many more.

To answer the question I label myself and outsmarts people and people ADD treat me different like a baby because of it but always was taught nothing can limit me and i am limitless. I was only hospitalized through EEG which is itchy well that is my story.

Hardest part is is inside disability so ots harder when she has tantrums she is seen as a bad kid. She wants to be seen like everyone else with abilities not disabilities thats the hardest of my disability. So world when will our reflection show who I am inside as mulan says in my favorite movie. No person actually believes me until they see the bad way I can act at moments my poor moments. So...I just don't understand the world!
