Then whats wrong with me!!??

Post Reply New Topic

At my last evaluation the evaluator asked my mt if she thought I had aspergers or PDD-NOS. The mt said she thinks it is the PDD. So now no body knows what I should be dxed as. Then when my mom asked when she came to my house she isnt even sure I am on the spectrum. I just wanna cry. They( the nts) don't know what its like to go through life wondering what is wrong with you. I mean I felt much better when I could say I have a form of autism.
So any way has this happened to anyone. I really think I am on the spectrum.

As yet I am still not officially diagnosed with anything, but my psych said I am very likely PDD-NOS. I'm still a little confused about the different labels, and what constitutes what (as you can see in my thread in the GAD).

I know how you feel. People around me, treat me as if I am exactly like them, although I know I am not. I really feel I am on the spectrum aswell. As for going through life wondering what is wrong with you, well I am the same. Only now I realise there's nothing wrong with me, I'm just different.

Hang in there

People tend to not believe me about AS cos I'm not officially diagnosed yet. It's really annoying.

I know how you feel. Even if you wasn't on the spectum, you still have the same problems to deal with and are always welcome here. Just see how it goes.

Thanks guys.

There's other syndromes that seem like there on the spectrum look them up i know them but forgot the names

I believe you'll find a dianoses i went thru the same thing until i was dianosed at 14 i wish i was dianosed sooner then i could've had more help but i didn't know what was wrong with me either. The doctor kept on going back & forth with syndromes. First they said ADHD & put me on ritalin which wasn't the case (i seem no where near ADHD). Then they kept saying i was ADD but it didn't quite fit me either then they say autism that didn't really fit then they say Asperger's & it stopped at Asperger's i went so long not knowing what was wrong with me i knew i was different i could tell it even in school i felt islated & alone & couldn't seem to communicate with the other children & used to get teased on a daily basis i always knew i wasn't normal & i'll never be normal.At one time i thought i had my own syndrome never heard of i thought i was gonna get my own syndrome because at first nobody knew what was wrong with me. So i have faith you'll find what your looking for

My shrink when I was 19 said he thought I probably had "a pervasive developmental disorder, like Asperger's" and later he pointed to the PDD-NOS section in his DSM and asked, "How would you liek to have this?" I was relieved I wasn't getting a second diagnosis of AS. It's complicated why I don't like my AS label. For one, I don't have all the symptoms of AS, or even enough to warrant a diagnosis, which the so-called expert who was in the papers overlooked years before.

My mom was so confused on why I am making such a big deal abotu havign a dx. I'm like well I feel better knowing what is wrogn with me. She said that I am like on the border I have either the PDD-NOS or Aspergers. The problem is they are like so close that no one knows which I am. I actually sat and debated with ym mom as to why should I be havign to go through this dx battle when to me pdd and aspergers is very close. I'm like all aspergers is is a asd. Then she was really concerned and was like how do you kno all these definitions. I sighed and said research. I called ym sister a stupid nt. She had no idea what I was een saying.
