I'm aiming to write a couple of articles about misdiagnosed people on the spectrum. For now I would publish them on my blog and see what happens.

Would anyone like to share their life story?

That's the first article:

I was misdiagnosed with IBS as a child when I was vomiting due to Sensory Overload. I was not diagnosed with Autism till I was almost 30!

I was not diagnosed with anything until I got ASD diagnosis but for a while I kept being passed around by mental health as at first it was suspected I was bipolar but then it was found thats not it.
