    I just got my diagnosis but I am a bit confused.

    I don't think my bones have changed to be fair. I just have very often this really strange grinding feeling between my bones in my knee's. Like there is sand in between them, when that happens my knee's also feel very stiff. I want to become healthier anyway so once we have a decent budget for...

    I just got my diagnosis but I am a bit confused.

    Regular painkillers have never worked. I now get Zapain painkillers from my GP that do work sometimes but I can't take them too often because then my body gets used to them. I really don't know why they sometimes work and sometimes don't. I have however been drinking Pau D'Arco tea a lot lately...

    I just got my diagnosis but I am a bit confused.

    I definitely understand that. I have always felt strange and different. I always got bullied in school, so badly that it is a surprise I am still actually here. Now I will be 22 next month and I feel a lot better. I am engaged, hoping to get married in 2019, hoping to get pregnant at the end of...

    I just got my diagnosis but I am a bit confused.

    Luckily I don't have that problem, my sleep disorder has more to do with nights. Sometimes I can easily sleep 12/14 hours a night, and when I wake up I am still tired all day, but other nights I can't sleep whatsoever, very often it has to do with the amount of pain I am in but also very often...

    I just got my diagnosis but I am a bit confused.

    So the DSM-V is just diagnosing the Autism spectrum and the ICD-10 diagnose the seperate conditions? Because to me, PDD-NOS, Aspergers and Autism all seem so different. I do think that in the Netherlands they recognize Aspergers as a individual condition, rather than all of them in 1, but I am...

    I just got my diagnosis but I am a bit confused.

    I am not sure about the diagnosis system really. I have done tests in the UK, but I will be moving to the Netherlands in a couple of months, my home country, and once I have a health insurance I will be wanting to get a second opinion. I don't really know much about it yet since I only got...

    I just got my diagnosis but I am a bit confused.

    I guess that makes sense, I would have preferred to actually have a proper diagnosis though, I think it would make it easier for people to understand because if I say at a job interview that I am in the Autism Spectrum I am more nervous about it then when I would say I have Aspergers I think...

    I just got my diagnosis but I am a bit confused.

    Hello, I literally just got my diagnosis 5 minutes ago over the phone. They told me I have the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum because they don't see Autism, Aspergers or any of the other types as seperate diagnosis anymore. Is that true? I went in to get a possible diagnosis for Aspergers because...

    Could I be on the spectrum?

    I am really unsure, what I now think that they meant is that I am somewhere in the spectrum but haven't got autism, they have only tested for autism but no other disorders on the spectrum so they aren't sure yet. I guess I will find out on Friday, I am slightly nervous but it would be nice...

    Could I be on the spectrum?

    Thing is, it said likely PDD, that's all they said and now I hear it is just another word for the spectrum so I am still clueless, except for the fact that I probably do have something that is on the spectrum. Luckily I should find out Friday.

    Could I be on the spectrum?

    Is it? The paperwork says PDD, they said all the signs point to PDD but there aren't enough signs to give me a diagnosis for Autism. I never thought I had Autism but I do really believe it might be Aspergers. Now I am a little confused because I never even knew that PDD-NOS is also a autism...

    Could I be on the spectrum?

    Thank you all so much. On the paperwork they said they thought I had PDD but because of the language problem I wasn't really sure what that was so I googled but got some sort of chronic depression syndrome online. I did not know that they actually meant PDD-NOS though. I guess they literally...

    Could I be on the spectrum?

    Hello, I am new on this forum, I made a account because I am at the moment very confused and would love some help from people with a disorder on the spectrum. For months I have been convinced that I have aspergers and I really do believe it. When I look at the symptoms it just sounds so much...
