| Well there are many diagnoses in this area who can look very similar: - Asperger's-Syndrom - HFA - PDD-NOS - McDD - schizoid personality disoder - schizotypal personality disorder etc. Just a good Psychiatrist who knows about the similarities and differences in this area can tell this exactly. |

| But it really feels like I'm doing this on purpose just to get more attention but on the other hand I've always presented these symptoms (except rocking back and forth). After I found out I have tics (probably Tourette-Syndrome) my tics started to get worser. I even couldn't sit still for lunch, no... |

| Don't be too worried about it, after lerning about the diagnoses this is normal. It's like this is "comming out" your autism, because you are thinking about it more.

| I was misdiagnosed as borderline. I do have two of the characteristics of it (self-injury and meltdowns) but both are better explained by Asperger's... I could see how it could be confused, though, especially since at the time I was assessed I was also depressed, which really lowered my coping skil... |

I also had paranoid thoughts when I was really stressed.
Tony Attwood is writing in his book about it, that fear can get so strong in autistic people that it get's paranoid.
The stress was gone and everything was normal again. |
