What other diagnosis did you get before Asperger's?

Post Reply New Topic

In my years of seeing the head doctor I've been diagnosed with:

ADD (my new shrink says it's the same as ADHD???)
Dysthymia
General Anxiety Disorder
Major Depressive Disorder
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Social Anxiety Disorder

Social Anxiety... it's probably a correct diagnosis, it just isn't all that's wrong with me

i don't see my therapist enough to be given any other diagnoses

I got a diagnoses of a vestibular problem, but most of the symptoms were not related to just vestibular.

But someone today who is familiar with aspergers, said i have it. this is the 3rd person now to say I have it not incl. myself.

My symptoms are 100% aspergers. I have tried to see if it's anything else, but nothing else matches up. and then people who know about Aspergers tell me I have aspergers before I even mention anything to them...

Weird.

Borderline Personality Disorder.

When I was 15, I was told that I had "generalized anxiety" because I couldn't express my fears and whatnot. They were too bizarre. I guess this would mean a diagnosis of GAD. I diagnosed myself with pure obsessional OCD and panic attacks (not panic disorder) after reading about them on the Internet. I'm the classic case of a pure "O." I received an official diagnosis for OCD at age 17. I didn't get my Asperger's diagnosis for a year afterwards. So, I've had one wrong diagnosis (GAD) and one right (OCD) before I was diagnosed with Asperger's.

I was mislabeled as hyperactive as a child.

ADHD

I was previously thought to have OCD and General Anxiety Disorder.

I don't have a formal diagnosis of Asperger's, but have labels of OCD, dysthymia (chronic depression) and sensory issues which were mislabeled as panic attacks before. I had a major depression during childhood.

I have been previously diagnosed with major depressive disorder, depression/anxiety, borderline personality dosorder.
And at the age of 5, i have been recognized as a very much above average gifted child. But despite of that, i have never managed to finish a university degree

I was diagnosed as ADD when I was 8. I don't think it was a correct diagnosis. I think most of the problems I was having were due to anxiety and probably some depression. I was forced to take ritalin for 5 years and it tasted awful, I cannot swallow pills and I think having to take those is part of the reason I still cannot swollow pills. When I finally stopped taking it, my grades actually went up.

ADHD
PDD

Some dorky "phycologist" who still belived in the refridigerator mother thing thought I might be psychotic because of my intense imagination. Maybe I also had a diagnsoses of ODD. I do remember reading that they thought that's what I had.

My biological mother was mentaly redarded and everyone thought I might be too.

Depression, OCD and GAD.
But to be honest they were all officially diagnosed over a 30 minute confirmation period.

Depression
OCD
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Bipolar
ADD
Gifted Child Syndrome

My diagnosis is not AS tho - it's HFA.
