I doubt half of you have half the disorders you claim to have or have been diagnosed with. I know AS i comorbid, but I think many of you have aquired the habit of explaining every bad aspect of your life with a disorder of some kind, to avoid having to actually deal with your issues. In these of gross over-medication and over-diagnosis that kind of behaviour is pretty much actively encouraged by cowardly doctors and parents in denial. I only have AS.
As for all the self-diagnosed people here, go to the f***ing doctor. |

I'm 19 and I have Asperger's, OCD (pure obsessional type), and panic attacks. The panic attacks have been present from around age 3-5. I didn't know what they were until I was about 15. I was put on Zoloft at 15 for "Generalized Anxiety Disorder." This prompted my obsession into neuropsych, so as I was doing my own research for fun, I stumbled upon OCD. I instantly knew that this was the reason for the inexplicable "bad thoughts" I had had on-and-off throughout life. However, I wasn't officially diagnosed until I was 17. While I was obsessive-compulsively checking and rechecking to see if I really did have OCD (before my official diagnosis, that is), I stumbled upon Asperger's, thinking that maybe I had that instead. However, everything I read focused on the severe social deficits, not the "special interests" and other things that characterize mine. Thus, I abandoned this early on and didn't research it all that much. This past February, when I was 18 1/2, my CBT therapist realized that there was something going on besides OCD and that it was inhibiting my treatment. She brought up Asperger's and she consulted with her friend who's an Asperger's specialist (who is now my new therapist) and her friend agreed that all of the symptoms fit. I was doubtful at first because it seemed sketchy, but I mean, it's so painfully obvious when you read things that aren't the ambiguous criteria of the DSM. When I met with my new therapist this fall, I got the official diagnosis. She said it was "extremely obvious." Other Aspies have detected it in me, too. I just didn't see it. And I don't think we have to go into how my verbosity is a key symptom, judging by the length of my posts...

 Yes. Because posting/chatting on WP helps no one deal with their issues.
And every doctor is helpful and wonderful and has all the time in the world for every patient,
just like everyone who needs a doctor can see one with a snap of their fingers.
And like there's even an appropriate specialist stapled to the forehead of anyone in need.
What are you going to do for me, if I'm misdiagnosed when my long (decade long) overdue assessment is said and done? No -er- offense or anything, that just kind of stung when I read it... |

| I was diagnosed with AS a few months ago. Roughly a year previous to that, however, I was also diagnosed with depression. |

| Why go to a doctor? Half of them don't understand AS and haven't kept up enough to diagnose it. I was misdiagnosed over and over again and put on some nifty drugs in the process. Nothing made sense until I adopted a child with ASD and researched it. Then my life suddenly made all the sense in the world. When I went to a new Neuropsych and told him what I suspected, he ran some tests on me and said, "Um, you're right." I had to tell HIM or he probably would have missed it again. He still kind of teetered on thinking maybe it's just bipolar. I have a mood disorder too, but that doesn't explain why I have face blindness, can't find my way around the block, seem to antagonize people when I'm trying to be nice, etc. Doctors are overrated. They don't really care about us. Many are very smug and hostile if we dare to mention we think we have AS. Blaaaaaaaah. I worked for doctors once, and it wasn't fun. |

| AS and OCD when I was 15. They said I had dysthymia and put me on prozac a couple months before they diagnosed me with AS and OCD. Don't know if that's still withstanding or a misdiagnoses. Not currently on medication so maybe not but I don't know. |
