I'm a 32 y/o female from Denmark, who was finally diagnosed at 28.
Before that I've had 2 different "main" diagnosis. First one was Paranoid Schizophrenia at age 16, but that story is too long to post here. That was changed to BPD when I was about 20. And at age 28 I was finally "allowed" by our healthcare system to be examined for autism.
I was diagnosed with Asperger's and ADD, and since the psychiatrist who signed the papers were not just your run-of-the-mill "low ranking" Dr., but actually the Chief Doctor at the regional office in my part of Denmark, the schizophrenia diagnosis was completely deleted with no possibility of it ever returning. I will be thankful to him for the rest of my life, because if you ever had a Schizophrenia diagnosis here, the doctors will always have a certain doubt about your newer diagnosis. But his signature is worth quite a lot in the eyes of his fellow psychiatrists, so that should never be a problem for me again.
I've since received counselling to help me understand what it actually means to have this diagnosis. But I'm not very good at therapy, and since the municipality eventually effed up in the contract they had to sign with therapists office (so I didn't have to pay) - those sessions are now a thing of the past. It's sad, especially because I still have a ton of questions. However, I am an avid Google user, and whenever I google, I often find my answers on this forum. So I decided to join, as it'll be much easier to get the answer I need, when the question comes from me and not somebody else. Hopefully I can also contribute with my knowledge of being misdiagnosed, social anxiety and being born in the last millennium.
To sum it all up: Hej (hi) from Denmark

I have always suspected that you guys made that system just to mess with your neighbors. That's what you did, isn't it.
