“Not autism”

Did you tell the doc about your memes?

I’ve shown some of my medicos, but not a the psychiatrist. They also say I have PTSD

As an HFA (Highly Functional Autism), this would hurt

Believe me, I've been misdiagnosed, under diagnosed...I've learned more about myself from the neurodivergentsUnite stream than from my neurologist.

Ohhh. :(

Yeah, it's a very misunderstood issue. There are a lot of us on the spectrum here on imgflip.

I don’t think a neurologist is really the most qualified to diagnose autism anyway. This meme is about a psychologist’s diagnosis: PTSD and ADHD, but I’m “not quirky enough for Asperger’s/ autism”. A neuropsychologist tested me as being NOT ADHD, but told me I had ASD (didn’t put it in written report though).
But I have 1 1/2 Masters in Mental Health and Autism, so I’m familiar with the diagnostic descriptors and can, therefore, test any way I like. I could even test as a sociopath or paranoid schizophrenic if I wanted to, based on the diagnostic questionnaires. I’m also accredited to do some MH and behavioural testing myself.
So I’m a terrible candidate to test.

What is 1 1/2 Masters in Mental Health and Autism? Do you mean college degrees?
.
My neurologist was the first to diagnose me on the spectrum. I also have Severe Complex PTSD. Those are just two. I spent 20 years in therapy/counseling.. Thank goodness I don't need antipsychotics so don't need to see a psychiatrist. Those folks can really do some damage to the brain. Healing has been hard work. I've learned a lot from folks here. Thanks for sharing.
