Although not diagnosed, I have been through 6 months of assessments with the final step believed as Autism and my assessment to commence from August.
Many years ago I was diagnosed with SAD and it was my yearly GP contact for medication that raised the potential for a misdiagnosis.
I have read through a lot of information over the last six weeks but what I cannot get a satisfactory explanation for is, could my SAD actually be a Meltdown.
Have you been in a position where you were misdiagnosed?
The similarities are very close:
3 months duration (January-March for me).
Loss of interest in what I love (conflict with Autism and huge interest in subject).
Increased sleeping.
Confusion and inability to concentrate.
Always late (complete reversal of always early to avoid walking into a crowd)
This year I am attempting to sleep 6-8hrs/ night to see if I suffer this Winter. Normally Summer and Autumn are so frantic and I end up sleeping 4-6 hours bar Sunday where it is 10 hours.
It can be classed as research but it will be interesting if my additional rest now prevents the January-March 'crash'.
It is something that I can;t get an understanding on.
Thank you.
