Going in for a diagnosis next month-what do I do to prepare?

I would promote yourself back up. It seems to me that the connection is the other way around. Aspergers can lead to OCD-like symptoms. The repetitive motions are soothing. Like rocking back and forth. We don't flick the light switch three times every time and leave. we flick it twenty cause it is fun. the next time we might just turn it on. We will pick up an OCD habit for a time and then drop it. In my last job, I worked with 4 different OCD personality types, it is how I knew to keep looking for my Dx cause I really wasn't OCD, unless they come out with an OCD with ADHD diagnosis.

I think your psych was a fruit and you just need to see someone else. you already have some of the tests. all you have to do is get someone else to look at them. Psychiatry is a lot in the interpretation.

Thanks! I feel silly now for "demoting" myself because I've "promoted" myself again. That psychologist just made me feel really unsure of myself.

I'm pretty sure I do have both OCD and AS, as I definitely have OCD-esque stuff, but OCD doesn't explain my social stuff. Danielismyname (I think that's his username!) has both, and posted some interesting explanations. I do have some stuff I do because of OCD, and other routines I don't want changed for no reason at all, which appears to be AS related. And probably some things that are affected by both.

How exciting!
