Has anybody been diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome but later found out they have Asperger's Syndrome?
Yes. There are people who have both Tourette's syndrome and Asperger's Syndrome. Depending on the severity of each, sometimes Tourette's syndrome will be diagnosed before Asperger's Syndrome. Both conditions have echolalia as a possible symptom, so if it is diagnosed as an element of Tourette's syndrome, it might not be considered as a symptom of another condition, which could delay diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome. However, Asperger's Syndrome is diagnosed based on a number of symptoms, so a diagnosis of Tourette's syndrome would probably mask only a mild case of Asperger's Syndrome. Before Asperger's Syndrome became a recognized condition, it was diagnosed as other conditions. It is possible that one of those misdiagnoses could have been Tourette's syndrome.
