I appreciate the suggestion. I'm diagnosed ADHD, OCD, and bipolar II, and clearly have symptoms of PTSD. A childhood screening for autism came up negative, and the only matching symptoms I have are explained by the other diagnoses. Most of the hallmark behavioral indicators of autism, I lack. At a certain point, these disorders are descriptions of patterns of behavior and I'm sure there is overlap between the conditions which contribute to autism and ADHD, both genetically and environmentally. I've intensely daydreamed and talked aloud to myself as long as I can remember. Extremely visual and aural thinker. Had OCD tics my entire life, first one I can remember is when I was 5, I couldn't stop swallowing and it was causing my throat to bleed and leaving me unable to even speak a sentence. The therapist I was sent to completely failed to catch the OCD at the time, and she actually ended up in prison for forging her license so I stopped going to her.
