Found psych report from 1994...

Post Reply New Topic

I found while cleaning out my apartment my copy of a psych report from 1994... I posted it somewhere else and it got deleted, but it details a child with some ASD-sounding issues, to quote parts of it:

"(I) have few social skills and no friends, she will frequently interrupt the class by screaming"

"(I) has thrown temper tantrums (kicking the floor and screaming) in the classroom."

"She feels that (I) is a very bright student and has great verbal skills. She has a wealth of knowledge and loves to talk about topics of which she is knowledgeable about."

But other things in this paper sound like ADHD and schizophrenia...

I've shown this document to mental health workers before... My current doctor said childhood mental illness, therapists have said there is indeed ASD in there. One doctor said her feeling was childhood bipolar and ASD and it needed further research.

The paper triggers me a bit though...

The paper says I was hyperactive, impulsive, couldn't stay on task, hearing voices (I contest that, I don't think I ever heard voices) and paranoid...

There was no actual dx in the paper...

The tantrums, they thought I was acting out when in fact when things upset me I melted down.

Hard to tell from today's perspective. Keep in mind that the report is based on interpreetations of your behaviors, not your real state of mind. Misinterpretations are very likely.
