If you’re autistic, there’s a good chance you have also been given at least one of the following diagnoses: generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), ADD/ADHD, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), eating disorder, major depressive disorder (MDD), Tourette’s, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder (BPD). Current research suggests that as many as 8 out of 10 autistic individuals have at least one other psychiatric condition–commonly referred to as a comorbid condition.
I think women are more likely to be diagnosed with comorbids than men. The autism diagnoses is missed and they get diagnosed with something else first. With men, they get diagnosed with autism early, and that diagnoses is seen as sufficient to explain everything.
