I stumbled on this forum today and figured I would check it out. I was diagnosed with bipolar 20 something years ago and have been on and off meds ever since. For the past 14 years on them..... I have also been diagnosed with probably 20 other disorders or diseases in that time frame; some of which include borderline personality disorder, anti-social personality disorder, ADHD, OCD, psychosis and was even told that my problems were due to trauma suffered in past lives..... (yes this was by a well respected psychotherapist). Long story short, I am a little reluctant to add another diagnosis to the list and am at the point personally, that I do not put a whole lot of stock in the profession as a whole (no offense to anyone who does).

I have believed for sometime that I fit in somewhere along the spectrum of autistic disorders, but never saw much sense in investigating it further as I am in my 30s and I figure whats the point....

I will probably be asking some questions in the next few days and just want to say thanks to anyone that can/will answer them even just to share information, opinion or insight.
