_________________
Given a “tentative” diagnosis as a child as I needed services at school for what was later correctly discovered to be a major anxiety disorder.

This misdiagnosis caused me significant stress, which lessened upon finding out the truth about myself from my current and past long-term therapists - that I am an anxious and highly sensitive person but do not have an autism spectrum disorder.

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.

1) I am me.

This is all I've got. I identify myself via my constant experience of existing. I don't think of my emotions, thoughts, preferences or behaviors as my "identity", because those kinds of things can change. I'm still me even if those things change.

I don't know who I am as I'm still going through the process of redefining myself.
