The Gray Warlock Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 When I was 9 I was analyzed for a year and told I have pervasive developmental disorder. Apparently it's a category for people who show autistic symptoms, but not enough to be on the spectrum. I spent four years in a branch of special ed called behavior disorders because I wasn't socializing properly, whatever they meant by that. I was tested at 18 and they didn't find any abnormality. So I don't know. I have considered that I might have c-ptsd. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxIsCosmic Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 I am newly diagnosed so I haven't met to many people like me I didn't realize how many other neurodivergent people there were! I'm honestly super happy there are other people like me out there :D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvest-Unity Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 most of my friends are autistic, and a few of them keep insisting that I might be, but I'm not sure. I've checked the diagnostic criteria, but I don't think I fit it. Still kind of feel like something might be wrong though, although that might not be a brain disorder and might be just me.

What diagnostic criteria did you check? If you haven't already seen these, they might be helpful resources. I learned recently that autism often presents differently (& very differently than what I understood it to mean growing up): https://exceptionalindividuals.com/candidates/neurodiversity-resources/neurodiversity-quizzes/ https://embrace-autism.com/autism-tests/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than criteria, look for experiences, or ask your friends why they think so. I've read criteria for adhd many times, but didn't think it fit me (a lot of them applied to one type of adhd (hyperactive) but not the one I have (inattentive); also for me criteria looked like epty words and it was hard for me to see what they really mean). However when I read things about how people with adhd relate to time, how they focus, etc, a lot of things applied to me. And retrospectively I see that a lot of criteria do apply to me, just not in the stereotypic way. Annyway I have adhd and I think about getting a diagnosis for bipolar disorder.

Lupin- Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Going through a referral for autism. They (school, family, NHS(?) people on the phone) reckon I'm on the spectrum but it takes foreverrrrrr to get a definitive answer / diagnosis (or so I've heard and experienced). Until then I feel kinda guilty saying anything for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 When I was younger I had high suspections of autism and adhd, but for private (my family) reasons I've never got a proper diagnosis so 😥 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
