Where is the challenge to wrong diagnosis?

NAS73180

I may have been misdiagnosed as autistic. 
I can find no reference anywhere to this possibility.

Surely there must be a movement to challenge diagnosis or question it?

  • You would need to be reassessed, I would think. Have you talked to your GP?

    This can go wrong in both directions; people missed when they are definately autistic, people can be misdiagnosed autistic, when they are otherwise neurodivergent or perhaps have an MH problem.

    It's important to examine why you feel your diagnosis does not fit and integrate that into your argument. It is also important to consider what other explanations there could be for what your experience.

    In the end no one can help themselves unless they know their truth.
