Hi
I'm a 32 year old female who has just been referred to the autism diagnostic service.
I've been in and out of the mental health service for the past 15 years with no particular success with any medications, been diagnosed with depression, anxiety and borderline personality disorder but none of the diagnosis have been totally right. So they gave me an autism questionnaire that I scored highly on. They then gave me more questionnaires and apparently I scored highly on them too.

I suppose I'm here to try to find answers as life is just too confusing at the moment.

Welcome to Wrongplanet! A lot of people (especially women) that have autism get one or several diagnoses/misdiagnoses before being referred for an autism assessment. I hope this forum helps you! :D
