I got my IEP back, and it says...

...that I have an emotional disability and an anxiety disorder. My IQ (averaged) is 113, with my verbal being signifigantly higher than my nonverbal (136 vs 88), and it told me that I had interpersonal problems, anxiety, episodes of depression, mood swings, disorganization, and somatization. So, I'm wondering...what does it point to, specifically? Does the "emotional condition" say that I'm bipolar, depressed, or just a pervasive emotional problem?

Oh, and the results told me that I'm not autistic, although I have a high vocabulary and I'm apparently socially awkward (plus, I have a difficult time "trusting others" and relaxing).


I'm just going to say it's Emotional Disorder NOS comorbid with anxiety.

I just wanted to let you know that...

Hold on, so having a difficulty trusting people is linked to autism? And here's me thinking it's common sense.

What you described does sound pretty similar to me as a kid.

From what I've heard, there actually isn't that much difference between the two disorders. Mild Cognitive and Learning issues are inherent in these disorders, but more importantly, the difference between the two is a severe patient history. That's how I'm told the diagnostic process goes.
