TLDR: I think I am on the spectrum but don’t want to be wrong and risk co-opting a community that isn’t for me. How did you figure out whether you had ASD or it was just a combo of symptoms from your other struggles? am diagnosed with ADHD, PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder with anxiety, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and briefly bipolar disorder. During the pandemic I hit burnout and found myself retreating to the “weird” little girl I was and I now believe this was my unmasking. I asked my mother about me as a child and if she thought it’s possible i am on the spectrum and she said yes. My issue is, so many disorders like PTSD and ADHD have overlapping symptoms with ASD and I don’t want to shove myself into a community where I do not belong. I have a distrust of doctors and do not want to seek a DX I just want to understand how my brain works so that I can function. How did you figure out whether you had ASD or it was just a combo of symptoms from your other struggles?
