    This is something ive been struggling with. I cant tell if its cptsd or my adhd which i have diagnosed or if i have autism. Or any combination thereof. I really dont feel comfortable with large crowds and like having things particular but then i also cant keep things clean and my brain goes a million miles an hour.

      That makes three of us now. Someone linked me to the RAADS-R yesterday, where I scored highly. Now I get to wonder all the same things.

      Ultimately, does a particular diagnosis or set of diagnoses matter? I’m trying to figure that out too.

        Ultimately, does a particular diagnosis or set of diagnoses matter?

        Some are fixable, some are manageable, some “it is what is it”. I think if I can get a good grip on what’s going on, I could do a better job sorting it out. I have made some improvement with an assume all of the above approach as CBT is a overlapping treatment for all, but I would at least like to know I’m going in the right direction. Any online testing I tried shows trauma for sure, but the others may or may not be an issue, but that overlap makes it hard to figure out.

          We’re definitely peas in a pod. I don’t really care what my diagnosis is, I just want to get more information about my inherent and learned behaviors, plus any preconceptions based on those, so I can be a better person for myself and others.
