I have been diagnosed three times the first time was when I was 11 years old and they said I had AS when I was 14 years old I got rediagnosed and they said I didn't have it and when I was 18 years old I got diagnosed again and they said I have definetly got AS

Sometimes it makes me confused that I have it or not sometimes I think I've got sometimes I don't think I've got it.

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was little. They also used to think I may be phycotic because of my intense imagination. And doctors always state that I have "mood disorder" even when they know I have a preexhisting diagnosed of AS. One doctor even tried to give me an aditional diagnoses of skitsofrenia when he knew I also had AS.

I was diagnosed with BPD. Psych recently took that off of my chart when he saw the circumstances upon my diagnosis.

I was misdiagnosed as hyperactive, but I think AS is much closer to the truth.

I went to a spycologist when I was 10(early 1994) and was daignosed with nothing.

I'm not sure if that would be misdiagnosed or undiagnosed :?: :?: :?:

I was diagnosed as slightly ret*d when I was a kid in the 70's but high functioning autism was a known diagnosis back then. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorder when I was older...I wonder why and was diagnosed with HFA when I was 31.
