Diagnosed with anything else other than an ASD?

-Pretty much all of the anxiety disorders at one time or another, barring a few (I don't have social anxiety for example); I don't meet most of them now, but I'm obviously predisposed to developing them as I've had them (I'm scared)
-Depression (woe is me and life is meaningless)
-Antisocial PD (the dog deserved it)
-Tinnitus (ring!)
-AVNRT or AVRT (it's hard to tell which one without an EP study); a type of supraventricular tachycardia (beatbeatbeatbeatbeatbeat, beat, beat, beat...)

Anorexia nervosa from 12 to 18 years old. I do not have that any more though.

ADHD

I have been diagnosed as Bipolar, PTSD, ADHD, and Borderline Personality. When I was little one of my pediatricians said that I might be slightly autistic, but nothing ever came of it.

Hey, I just WIKI'D (:P) Tinnitus, and I think thats the first or possibly the second time that I've read about it being abnormal to have always had a constant noise that is always there. So I was wondering if maybe you could send me some links or something. I'm not really annoyed by the ring, considering that it has been there since I can remember... but I suppose if it's abnormal enough to get a clever diagnostic name I should probably look into it more.

ADD (absolutely no "H", unless it stands for HYPOactive).
Tourette Syndrome (tics are mild)
Obsessive Compulsive Behaviors (presumably associated with TS).

I haven't been completely and officially diagnosed, but it's pretty obvious that I have OCD. Fortunately, I've really improved from a year ago, but I won't ever, never be perfect.

Anxiety,social anxiety, and depression. I self suspect ADD/ADHD and maybea mood disorder

ADHD-believe this is incorrest, more likely to be NVLD traits, OCD, GAD, Depression.

Ntstanch,

You've probably read this, but tinnitus is where the little hairs in your ears that process sound are damaged via some mean (a really loud explosion, exposed to constant loudish noise, ear infections, hitting your head, and etcetera).

I was only "diagnosed" with such as I damaged my ears by firing a pistol indoors without hearing protection, and my ears were very sore, so I went to the doctor's place to see how they were; the ringing I experienced was said to be such. It's been there ever since. It doesn't bother me, as I've gotten used to it.

Tourette's Syndrome, Dysgraphia, Dyslexia, and A.D.D. (before A.D.D. was the popular thing to apply to any kid who gets bored with schoolwork).

Dyspraxia, dyslexia, CAPD, verbal apraxia, hypotonia.

I have tinnitus in my left ear. Constant ringing! Easy to forget about though, however actual silence isn't what it should be.

I was born with one less joint in my neck. Two of them are fused together, as a result I have one less joint and one larger joint than usual. I can't remember the name the doctor told me anymore, but I did some research and the only thing I can come up with is Klippel-Feil syndrome (which I've read may also present with neurological differences).

ADHD

I was diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder by a psychiatrist who believed girls couldn't have AS. I was then diagnosed with AS by a specialist, so I guess that overrides the Social Anxiety diagnosis. I was also diagnosed with Depression because I had panic attacks and couldn't leave the house, but I now believe I wasn't depressed but was suffering from Agoraphobia. I'm also pretty sure I have OCD.

I suffer from tinnitus as well. It's interesting that so many of us have it. In my case it wasn't caused by a loud noise - I just woke up one day and it was there.

certified Agoraphobic and Schizoaffective here.
