    Misdiagnosed and Over Treated

    That is true. I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm glad I can still work right now but it is difficult, I think it always will be.

    Having ASD and Work

    I agree, I have trouble with change in my routine too. I get really bad anxiety from it. It can ruin my whole day.

    Misdiagnosed and Over Treated

    I tried to get on SSI and was denied twice. I'm glad I was turned down though, it forced me to get back into society and work again. If I didn't work I would still be a mess. I was upset at the time because I didn't know how I was going to survive but it was harsh blessing I guess.

    Having ASD and Work

    Thank you, that is a much more positive outlook on my issues at work. I know I'm a hard worker and sometimes I feel like I'm bored in this position because I've gotten the job down so well. I have so many idea's in my head on how to improve my company but my social skills are so bad that I...

    Having ASD and Work

    I have one co worker that I talk to daily and that is my manager. She is only one I feel comfortable talking to. I feel lonely sometimes but honestly I prefer to be alone I cope by keeping myself busy on projects or watching TV

    Having ASD and Work

    In the last two years I have had two different jobs. I have always been a hard worker because I'm able to stay focused on what need's to be done. I used to work for the Government for 13 years so over those years I was able to get used to people I worked with. Living in a new state and...

    Misdiagnosed and Over Treated

    I'm surprised myself that I don't have more damage from ECT. I have talked to people who had less than me with more damage. I do still have trouble with my memory and speech. I think I always will. I of course have thought about suing for malpractice but to be honest I really don't like...

    Misdiagnosed and Over Treated

    Thank you everyone for your replies. It's good to know I'm not alone. I know I was suffering from Major Depression but I really think it was due to always feeling different. I always felt like I was from another planet and I thought a pill or crazy treatment would finally fix me but I was...

    Misdiagnosed and Over Treated

    I was diagnosed with ASD about 6 months ago and it's the first diagnosis that has made sense to me. I was previously diagnosed with Major Depression, OCD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Agoraphobia. I was put on 12 different medications and under went 67 ECT treatments and couldn't function...

    Hello

    I wanted to introduce myself. I was diagnosed with ASD about 6 months ago by a new doctor in a different state. I am 36 years old. I was misdiagnosed 9 years ago with 4 different mental disorders and I was over treated to the point that I couldn't function. My family has always suspected...
