Disorder, Or Astrological Influence?

December 18th, 2009 | Author: kj

I was diagnosed with ADHD and Aspergers syndrome at around the age of 8. I read all the reports and I realized something I never did before. According to them I was slow to do everything, I only kept one friend, avoided much social contact, and hated change in routine. Every answer I gave was practical. I spent so much time on details, it took me forever to do everything. Dispite this they knew I was intelligent, artistic, and imaginative. One report said that I had unusual fluctuations in my voice at times. They realized I had great rote memory and a love for structured environments. Because of this they came close to calling me autistic. I must point out that I am not an astrologer, but here goes: My sun sign is 7 degrees Taurus and my mercury and jupiter are Taurus, Taureans are an introverted sign therefore keeping only the closest friends, they take their time with everything, are practical in everything they do, and do have great rote memory probably due to their conservative nature and respect for establishment. The Taurus sign rules the throat and Taureans often use color in their voice, along with being naturally great singers. My moon sign is 18 degrees Virgo, another reserved and rather introverted sign, Virgos LOVE details and structure. My mars is 13 degrees Aquarius, giving me the great imagination and offbeat ideas. If any one of these many faculty members would have noticed my birth date and connected it to my zodiac sign, they would have realized that even my appearance has a strong Taurus influence (youthful, round eyes, round face/jaw line, tuft of hair on bangs) and Leo rising influence (golden skin, 'mane' like hair, large facial features) I do look very lion like, being 0 degrees Leo. They said that I exhibited signs of autism but my other behaviors were contradictory, I was outgoing when I found comfort, I was very polite and patient with people. I guess my real question is: How does someone's astrological influence make developemental disorders? And are things like Aspergers syndrome really disorders or just someone's preference to their way of life, is there any real line to distinguish disorder from personality? I know I definitely prefer to keep to myself not because I don't know how to communicate, I'd rather just not communicate because I hate being put into the uncomfortable situation of getting used to other people and I hate being vulnerable, I like control, and that's best obtained in a relationship I'm familiar with. How can someone get off with slapping a disorder on someone with a reserved personality? The reports also said my mom is a reserved speaker and suggested that she passed the autism spectrum disorder onto me...my mom just so happens to be a Taurus native too and it's no secret that Taureans are a quiet bunch, I know quite a few Taureans personally. How can astrological signs give things such as attention deficits? Or do you think it's strictly genetic? I need some expert opinions on the matter.
Sorry that dragged on a bit too long, I do love giving detail, remember?

DO NOT CLICK IN THE YELLOW BOX?

    I think it is important for you to think of this whole thing in a slightly different way. I personally don’t think it has to be personality as defined by astrology OR a psychological disorder (although I wouldn’t really describe Asperger’s Syndrome to be a disorder). It can very easily be both. You explained your Asperger’s-like traits quite well through the signs in your chart, and I think that is what it comes down to. You exhibit Asperger’s-like symptoms, and it is likely that you could be classified to have that syndrome, and the signs in your chart encourage those personality and behavioural traits in you. Asperger’s is really quite distinct, so if it seems like you could have it, chances are you do. The voice fluctuations, the lack of facial expression until you are comfortable, the interest in great detail.
    Personally, however, I think you also should look at the aspects that your planets make. I’m sure you will find more exacting aspects between perhaps your Mercury (planet of the mind/thought) and probably your Sun that may be similar to the kinds of aspects other people with Asperger’s might have in their chart. Someone close to me was diagnosed with ADD and I feel that they probably have Asperger’s as well, and I think this is greatly indicated by their Mercury placement. All in all, you need to look at the whole picture in the chart – signs, aspects and all.
    The signs in your chart just add flavour to your personality, which just so happens to be indicative of Asperger’s Syndrome.
    In the end, it doesn’t really matter what category or umbrella anyone puts you under. You are not an exact replica of other people who have Asperger’s, you are still an individual – you can see that in your chart. The influences surrounding you to make you the way you are are not the same influences that someone else has making them the way they are. Just play on your strengths and be confident in whatever you do, and you will do absolutely fine.

    OMG you’re so right! My friend is a Taurus as well and his voice sounds a little weird and soft. I guess this is a common trait among Tauruses.
    I’m gonna have to say that it was definitely an astrological influence, because all humans on planet Earth are affected by Astrology.

    this is an interesting question. i’m not an expert and i don’t know the answer to your questions but i can back what you said up with personal experience. i’m a 5 degrees taurus with my mercury and jupiter in taurus and i, too, have adhd. i was dianogsed when i was around 10 or 11 by multiple testing centers after my teachers found me to display typical adhd traits in class. my mars is also in aquarius, and my moon is in LEO. these aspects give me great emotional creativity.. yet..i can never reach where i’m trying to go. they’re at complete opposites with each other, making my mood swings extremely interchangeable. (bipolar? i’m not sure.. astrological or genetics? my dad is bipolar. so who knows lol) to the point where it disrupts daily routine ever since i was a kid. also… most of the signs in my chart are all fixed signs.. oh boy
