It’s possible you were misdiagnosed since there is a fair degree of overlap between the two disorders. Some of the traits you mention like the flactuating emotions could be ADHD but can also be attributed to multiple other disorders. Also a lot of the Aspergers stereotypes are based on male behaviors which is maybe where the “emotionally flat” stereotype comes from. It does tend to present differently in girls and women.
I also saw the article on RSD which stands for rejection sensitive dysphoria. This basically means thinking that people don’t like you when they do or when they are indifferent. They tried to say that this trait was exclusive to ADHD which makes absolutely ZERO SENSE and there are a million things that can cause this. Aspergers can actually be one of them since people in the spectrum tend to misread social cues. Also social anxiety, depression and past abuse can also cause this. Didn’t you mention once that you had a lot of narcissists in your family? Chronic narcissistic abuse can cause this as well, especially the “overcompensating” that they spoke about in the article. Honestly the whole article seemed to be describing victims of abuse more accurately than ADD. I wouldn’t be surprised if big pharma was behind it, trying to push meds on a quarter of the population!

I see what you're saying and you make a lot of good points. I think it might have been a combination of depression and ADHD (both of which I have :/ ). I don't actually have any narcissists in my family, and my parents and my brother are some of the best people I have ever known

That’s good. Maybe it was another post I saw from someone with a similar name. It was a post talking about how people on the spectrum always seem to be the black sheep in families where there are a lot of narcissists. Also, how chronic abuse can cause autism traits to appear in people who actually aren’t on the spectrum.
