I wonder how many others here are diagnosed with AS but don't truly have it and they have another autism condition instead.

i agree, I think that alot of people have symptomes in different levels of severity. i find it funny that they call it the "autism spectrum" and then have different diagnosises that are in it. it should just be a spectrum that encompasses certain symptomes in varying levels of severity.

...and thusly they labeled them, so as to indicate where on the spectrum a person fell.

Diagnosed just recently by a whack of psychologists on campus. Wrote the words down on paper and everything.
This was after the GP insisted I had it and sent me for more testing.
Just in case two doctors aren't enough, I have an appointment with some kind of psychiatrist later this month as well. Third time's the charm.

Diagnosed with "definite elements of it" but mixed in with OCD, dyspraxia & ADHD......

But I'm pretty sure I do have it - I used to think it was "mild" until I came on here & found out what NT's were supposed to be like - there is NO WAY I could possibly be any kind of NT - they sound like aliens!

I was diagnosed with AS far back as 2002 during a time when I was having a great amount of trouble in the social front which, I still do wherein; the diagnosis brought a greater sense as to why, I had been bullied,teased,mistreated for close to 2 decades...
