re-diagnoses and finally getting appropriate treatment...

[purpletoupee]

Well, I was around here a few months ago. Not really sure why I'm making this post, but anyway.

Turns out I do have Aspergers (and the commonly co-existing panic attacks, depression blah blah); and PTSD/with from years of severe bullying whilst trying to cope with an undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder. I'm so happy that I'm finally getting intensive treatment.

The worst thing is the constant dissociation that I now know is caused by the PTSD, which means whenever I leave the house I'm extremely distressed and do not have real control over my body, cannot focus my eyes or do much at all...it's like living in a nightmare dream world. But hopefully things will finally look up and I'll be able to have a life.

Purple, that is really interesting, how long were you being treated for the wrong dx? How long did it take them to figure out you had Asperger's instead?
