What are you diagnosed with?

Post Reply New Topic

To my knowledge, my only diagnosis is OCD. But I can relate to a lot of people here so far, I guess because of the similarities b/t OCD and Asperger's? And also because I have very intense interests, difficulty with eye contact, etc.
One of my closest friends has Asperger's, and my best friend when I was a kid also had Asperger's. I'm totally unintersted in "typical" conversations/small talk/etc., so I seem to get along better with people on the spectrum.

Asperger's, Depression, Anxiety, OCD, sensory processing disorder, dyspraxia, ADD, cluttering, language processing disorder, and I was diagnosed with autism as a young child.

I don't even have depression anymore and I don't have OCD (I had traits then like fear of germs and very obsessed with cleaning and wanting everything neat and washing y hands too much) and my mom says I outgrew having dyspraxia and SPD. I was also diagnosed as having anorexia three years ago which I was shocked about then and then realized I don't actually have it, darn doctors don't even follow the criteria. Cluttering I am unsure about. Other labels I have found in my records I don't know if they were diagnoses or just labels they used on me such as communication disorder or multi handicaps. My mom also claimed I had an adjustment disorder but I don't see myself as having it. I only heard her mentioning it once when I was 18 when she was signing me up for SSI.

I fit more into the PDD-NOS category so that was why I had "other autism spectrum disorder" in my profile for two years. My psychiatrist did wrote I was between AS and autism and it was mild. After reading parts of those papers, he seemed more concerned about my social skills than my anxiety and obsessions and difficulty with change so I assume I was the most impaired in that area but he didn't say how bad my social impairments were.

Well I definitely don't have an eating disorder anymore. For now. But the images are still there.

Variously:
ADHD, Asperger's classic autism, and PDD-NOS.

Depends on the doctor. PDD-NOS is the correct diagnosis.

According to the poll, aspies are well in the lead! Come on HFA's!! !! !! !! !!

Mental stuff:

-Autism and AS (different institutions). No one has denied some form of high functioning autism. AS works though
-Several anxiety disorders (OCD, PTSD, GAD, and panic disorder)

Aspergers and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but I am starting to doubt the AS diagnosis...I think I might actually be OCPD.

I was diagnosed with "tentative" Asperger's in 1995, a year after the DSM-IV came out. The diagnosis letter said that in a year's time it would go away provided I had highly individualized programming that worked on my social skills. I had very noticeable AS traits well into the time I went to college, though. It was also suggested in the letter that I had PDD-NOS althought I had clear AS traits...but then again this was at a time when not even professionals knew much about it.

Asperger's

Not on the spectrum but I know someone who does
