Autism and co-morbid conditions

LJ51125

Hi, I’m new here and feel a bit nervous about posting. I have recently been diagnosed with Autism, C-PTSD and am suspected of also having EUPD. 

Although a lot of the symptoms overlap I have had some unique ones between the 3 conditions. There is so much I don’t understand and a lot to try and take in (I’m awful at trying to retain information).

I’m having a difficult time processing it. I feel lost and don’t honestly know where to begin trying to get my head around it. I was curious if anyone here with co-occuring conditions felt the same way or had any potential helpful tips on how to process it please?

  • I’m diagnosed autistic but was not made aware of any co occurring challenges. That said I really struggle to retain information and this is one of the things that gets me into trouble at home. I even struggle to retain information regarding my interests sometimes as well. 

    Nice to meet you

    Thank you, a pleasure to meet you. I was on waiting list for just under 2 years for diagnosis but was told to research EUPD last year. I found out there is a lot of symptoms that appear between conditions through that research. Personally I do wish that I had been made aware of just how many of the symptoms are shared or at least told where to look. 

    It is very complicated trying to research these things alone and there was a lot of conflicting information which didn’t help. 

    I dare say there is much I don’t know or understand but it could be worth looking into even just to get a better understanding of it. For me personally I don’t like to seem ignorant or oblivious so if I can I will learn. I would like to make it clear though that this is not a remark against anyone else, I just like to learn as much as I can about things.

    Anyway I do hope that you may have better luck in understanding any possible connections there may be
