Since 2nd grade My parents have noticed that I dont focus well and cant really socialize with others my age, So I was put on ADD/ADHD medications untill 5th grade. That was because my 5th grade teacher has a son with severe Autism, so She was able to recognise Aspergers Syndrome in me.

I was diagnosed with high functioning autism at around nine but they also diagnosed me with ADHD in second grade and severe anxiety a few months ago.

I got Asperger's, depression, and anxiety after a series of panic attacks when I was 11.

Mulling over my memories of past life experiences as well as taking online tests, I'd say that it's quite probable that I am on the spectrum. However, getting a doctor to see me as I do is a whole other topic. I'd love a DX (not necessarily in writing). I think it would be beneficial, especially if I could get some real world training to get along with NTs. Something that's been a major obstacle since I was a little girl. We'll see, because I have yet to find a doctor under my current healthcare plan who recognizes older adults on the spectrum.
