very odd-I was initially diagnosed with BPD, but I've posted many times about my frustration with how that one came about, lol. I'm getting my test tonight
hoping I can get around to the right diagnosis soon. It was finally removed altogether 2 weeks ago (feels so nice, lol-not that it'd be horrible if I did have it, just to be diagnosed with something you clearly do not have is rather confusing/upsetting).
and yeah, most of what I'm finding for "misdiagnosis asperger's" in google is stuff where people are diagnosed with other things. These 2 seemed alright though
But as I skimmed over, lol, they might be reall cruddy and I just happened to see a few parts that looked good/interesting.
I'm sure it's common though-my bf's therapist said... well, you remember when manic depression was the big thing getting diagnosed all over the place? She said you have to be careful these days because Asperger's seems to be given out quite regularly lately. Not saying people don't have it, but she's meaning from therapists who are not very educated in it deciding that's what it is and labelling people too quickly rather than looking at an overall picture or looking into ALL of the details.
I just thought that was kind of interesting that she said that.
Yeah it is the in thing to get diagnosed with BP now and 7 years ago i suppose the time of mine it being AS.
