YES. I have a tendency to always think about the worst possible outcome in a social situation where things are ambiguous. For example, a friend is being or acting distant from me, I tend to think that it's my fault and that they're mad at me for some reason...when often this is not the case.

Given a “tentative” diagnosis as a child as I needed services at school for what was later correctly discovered to be a major anxiety disorder.

This misdiagnosis caused me significant stress, which lessened upon finding out the truth about myself from my current and past long-term psychiatrists - that I am a highly sensitive person but do not have an autism spectrum disorder

My diagnoses - anxiety disorder, depression and traits of obsessive-compulsive disorder (all in remission).

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.
