Ok I posted this in the adult autism but there is a myriad

Post Reply New Topic

I have gotten a myriad of diagnosis in the past those being ADHD oppositional defiant disorder social anxiety Asperger’s schizophrenia antisocial personality disorder borderline personality disorder obsessive compulsive disorder and mixed cluster b personality disorder. Help me figure out what is wrong with me . I am an adult 34 years old

That's more common than it should be. And more common than it would be if they'd be less fixated on the "excessive" diagnoses being handed out and more on the epidemic of misdiagnoses being made.

TBH, the main thing that most of those things have in common is being common misdiagnoses for various autism variants. A bunch of those things are more or less on opposite sides of each other diagnostically. I am not a medical provider, nor am I yours, but if you've got the ability to do so, a neuropsych exam should help a lot in terms of clearing that up. At least in terms of what's really going on there, because that's a lot like my medical record where there's a bunch of stuff that is just not permissible to apply to a single person there. A good neuropsych exam, preferably done by somebody with significant experience dealing with autism should be able to make enough sense of that to point towards helpful treatment.

I can’t afford a neuropsych exam. I just get assessed by forensic psychiatrist paid for by courts because I get in trouble with the law.

I did a RBANs
a Weishler IQ test.
Rey complex figure test
PAI personality assessment inventory
Shipley
Anger disorder scale
Structured inventory of malingered symptomatology

Were these assessments all conducted within a close time period? Or were they a bit separate and your environments had changed? If you're AuDHD and your environments were changing considerably in-between, it's possible that your results were reflecting your suggestibility and adaptations to those environments. Say you're in a position of authority or getting admiration, you might seem more narcissistic. If you're in the military, you might seem more anti-social. If you're living with a narcissist, you might seem more borderline. But really, you're just adapting and being autistically/innocently honest about the regular behaviors and intentions of those roles at the fundamental level. In contrast, an NT would give responses approved by the court of public opinion. Military need to be ready kill people they don't even know without remorse. They could also develop dissociation and just not care about others at all from the disconnect, so they seem anti-social. Leaders have to be confident, controlling, and charismatic, making them seem narcissistic. Being with a narcissist that trauma bonds their partners could make them look borderline. All this role changing causing these seemingly wild personality swings may be especially true if you are extremely adaptive to your environments and you don't fight them. You just mold into it, so then it's a whole new set of patterns that seem like traits if only observed for a year or so. In that case, your true personality traits would be very basic fundamentals and simple rules that fit anywhere and are merely expressed through your roles based on your environmental guidance and requirements. Do you find yourself adapting easily to the cultures of other countries?

Autistic military response: I want to kill as many of them as possible.
NT military response: We're trying to win for our country.

Autistic politician: I am the best and always right. Everyone else is worse, and I will prove it. If you think I'm the best, then you are good.
NT politician: I want to lead our country to prosperity.

Autistic trauma-bonded partner: I literally fear death when the only person in the world that matters to me threatens to leave me.
NT trauma-bonded partner: I'm not good enough for them.

What do you think about the schizophrenia diagnosis though? That's a unique one there.


I apologize for this non-sense. I'm getting sleepy and my brain is all over the Plaza D'Mufasa with Shaka N. Malaka doing caca in the back of Binaca Station with sensation of Earth nation being patient with matriculation.
