I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. They told me it's difficult to diagnose in females because they're usually better at learning socially.
While I was being diagnosed I read up online about what is it and saw that in the USA they have taken away the label Asperger's, so when I said that during the diagnosis, they told me it's only in the USA they don't class Asperger's as a disorder in its own right, but the rest of the world still go by the official WHO classification
Greetings. I still have a problem with correctly people. I'm sorry. I also hope I don't sound offensive. That's not my intention. And there is a mini rant in here, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to pick a fight.
Canada also uses the DSM-V. We are beside the US, and we don't use the ICD here. Well, from what I know of. I was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in Canada under the DSM-V, and all my other disorders but my learning disability were diagnosed under the DSM-V too. Learning disability criteria is in my signature.
I seem to have a problem when people think of America as having only this. A favourite Youtuber of mine said that Tauros from Pokemon in Pokemon Go are only located in America and it bugged me because it's like Canada doesn't exist. But then again, we are pretty small and even America has limited knowledge on us but they know we exist luckily.
