Can it be possible that I can be having more then one symptom with more then one cause, but to me the feelings I get can feel like they are thw same thing, and so I am getting the same symptoms from more then one cause?

That can certainly happen. Yes.

Ok. Then if that is happening it very much confuses things.
Would having an autism assessment work things out as to what is what?

If the person is knowledgeable about present-day autism, then the person can sieve the autism from the other co-morbids.

I hope you are not one of those who thinks they have to be "autistic" in order to be a valid member of this Site.

It's quite possible you're autistic. There's a good chance that you are. But even if it turns out that you're not, you're still "one of us."

I hope so as I am puzzled as to what's going on.

Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely or common? Not really. Typically, if you have all the symptom of one or two things, you probably have those one or two things, especially if they are co-morbid conditions. It's far less likely to have, for example, 10 different specific symptoms from 10 different things. Diagnosticians usually go for the fewest potential causes of a given set of symptoms. If something is perfectly explained by 2-3 things, very seldom is it actually more like 6-7 things sharing the symptoms in some complicated overlapping manner. Exceptions definitely happen, but it's usually the simpler answer.

I have allergies, and I occasionaly get colds. Those both cause sneezes. But I rarely have ragweed and a cold at the same time.
