I was diagnosed with ADD when I was 6, then they added oppositional defiant disorder when I was 8, and when I was 13 I was diagnosed with asperger's and ADHD-PI.
I haven't gone to see a shrink ever since I was 14, so I don't know if I still meet the criteria for all that stuff.
I am pretty sure thye ADHD-PI diagnosis is correct, I definitely fit the "over-focused rigid subtype".
I don't know about the Asperger's diagnosis, but I was very depressed at the time I was diagnosed and was living the worst few years of my life up to now. I guess it might be correct though, since there are several other cases of autism in my family. I just never mention it, it's just easier to tell people I have ADD and stop at that, Asperger's is a way harder diagnosis to explain and anyway I don't think it's that noticeable in me.
A disorder I've never been diagnosed with but that I think I might have is OCD. The last time I went to a psychiatrist they told me I had many traits of it, but she never officially diagnosed me with it.
I don't plan on seeking an opinion from an "expert" anytime soon, in the past I was forced to go by the school, but now that I can do what I want I want to be as far away from therapists and crazy shrinks as I can, in my experience they only make things worse and if I've actually improved my life and my condition it's just thanks to myself, not them.
I'll probably be subjected to a mental health check up when I enroll for the Financial Guard, but I don't think it'll be anything too detailed or that it will take too long.
