I guess I’m aware that your looking for comorbidities, but I fight with my old-self all the time, and I think that my dequalification of my positive-developments is a significant problem for me..
I have an imposter-complex, which I guess is part and parcel of going undiagnosed for 27 years, I have had a false-pretext for all of my weaknesses, that now affect my initial-reactions to my issues.
I am constantly having to remind myself that I deserve to equalise myself, that I can’t take my diagnosis away from myself, and that if collect my thoughts I can regain my confidence in my reality..
So many things coincide with autism it really isn't fair is it? We've another to deal with without other issues occuring all well.
Autism is my primary diagnosis but I also have generalised anxiety disorder, OCD, depression, bipolar, fibromyalgia, dissociative identity disorder and lupus.
I get support for most of it except for the autism.
Severe menopausal symptoms.
Sciatica.
A variety of allergies - mostly mild.
Asthma.
Lots of bouts of depression and anxiety. I recently saw my medical notes and saw that several times in the past I was diagnosed with psychosis - I think this was more likely autistic traits such as selective mutism.
have collected a few too:
Fibromyalgia
Psoaratic Arthritis
TMJ Disorder
Chronic Headaches
I’m pretty sure I have PLMD or RLS although my Dr completely ignores me.
Since the fibro diagnosis dr’s just look at me like I’m devising a work of fiction to annoy them.
I have autism, sensory disorder, pathological demand avoidance, selective mutism, ptsd and chronic eczema. today I am resting in bed because I went out to an event yesterday and now my eczema is tingling and itchy on the inside of my skin, fun times! lol
Depression and Schizophrenia. I get high levels of anxiety, but it's mainly stress-related. Plus, I have been overweight my entire life.
However, I'm getting on top of things. Supplements kept me ticking, during the ZANU Normal, and now I have a kitten to provide love and affection.

Hello.
I’m sorry you’ve had these problems and struggled to be supported. Though I am glad you are supported at the moment. I spent three and a half years in a mental hospital after my mum died.
But I’m doing better now and have my boyfriend and our lovely daughter. But I do still struggle and since my diagnosis I’ve felt a bit more pressure and have been looking for support but there’s not a lot in my area at the moment.
I hope you continue to get the help you need.
It comes and goes and you have to fight for it. Idk if there are any areas where our health services haven't been ravaged. Where I am the day psych hospital got shut and the regular part is so stretched that I was told last year when I stopped eating that if I needed inpatient treatment I'd be left in A&E for weeks waiting for a bed at the psych place.
But right now I'm getting some help.
I've got
-ASD.
-Anxiety Disorder.
-Emetophobia.
-Depression.
-Dyslexia.
Do you get much support you guys? I've been looking but feels like there's not a lot of help out there. Maybe it is just in my area.
ASD, of course, GAD, social phobia, chronic/recurrent diverticulosis, IBS, many food intolerances, damaging over-reactions to insect bites, histamine intolerance, tinnitus, partial hearing loss, asthma, chronic/recurrent sinusitis and solar urticaria (skin, excepting the face, that is exposed to strong sunlight for over half an hour comes out in nettle-rash), I also tend to come out in nettle-rash to anything that irritates my skin - cannot wear rings or wristwatches or tight clothing. I'm also hyper-mobile (I pass the clinical test), but it does not cause any problems.
Suspected ASC, confirmed GAD, IBS and RLS, depression with a side of SAD, and hayfever. I have sleep issues as well but they link to everything else.
Many things physical and mental :(
I don't want to list them all here though.
The most problematic one, oustisde of ASD is that I have complex post traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD). It is very hard to live with, I wish nobody else had to deal with it. It's very isolating.
