Example: I hear that I’m ‘High-Functioning’ according to my parents but I’ve been diagnosed as ‘Autistic disorder’ by my doctor and I’ve previously thought that I had ‘Asperger syndrome’ to name a few terms.

      If you don’t mind me asking, why are you afraid?

      I’m a few years older than you, and I’m trying to get diagnosed, but either the ASD or ADHD that I seem to have are interfering with my life. I want a diagnosis so that I can try to alleviate the symptoms, and hopefully make my life a bit better.

      Apologies if it seems like a daft question, I’m not always good at getting my point across in text, but I’m genuinely curious :)
