Aspergers (diagnosed)
Major Depression (diagnosed)
SAD/GAD (diagnosed)

Isn't life fun?

I have been diagnosed with...
ASD
SCD
ADHD
Dyspraxia
Dyscaliculia
Dyslexia
GAD
and all kinds of other stuff since birth. it is a very thick folder.

I'm waiting in anticipation of what they will come up with.

I started the testing but 2 extra test days had to be added because it turns out I am a very complicated person. Had me last test today and all will be revealed in 10 days.

Tbh I don't particularly want a diagnosis beyond ASD. Not sure if I could carry it.

If I turn out to be ASD I think I would manage to carry any other label on the back of that so to speak.
And if it turns out I am not I might go back to my roots and find solace in Taoism...

Officially diagnosed:
Asperger's
ADD
GAD
social anxiety disorder (diagnosed only once by the psychiatrist who didn't think I had Asperger's)
panic attack disorder
oppositional defiant disorder (diagnosed by school counselors in elementary school and then again when I was 14, which I don't think I have anyway)

Not officially diagnosed:
OCD (I wasn't officially diagnosed but the counselor said I had many traits and that I could have had the disorder)
paranoid personality disorder (strongly suspected by my mother)
schizoid personality disorder (suspected by my mother, which I don't think I have)

Anxiety Depression mixed disorder (diagnosed, but largely under control today after CBT).

It's the only thing I'm officially diagnosed with, but I'm still pretty new in my psych treatment/process and it seems increasingly likely I have some form of mild autism as my main underlying issue. In addition I fit virtually all the textbook criteria for schizoid personality disorder, which I think I developed around my teenage years.
