Putting a name: pda autism

There are lots of stories here in the forum of people being mis diagnosed and re-diagnosed with different problems. It seems that mental health, in general, is much less certain and precise than the physical side of medicine. I went to a talk from a local mental health charity and the lady spoke about people being diagnosed with different problems depending on which doctor had seen the patient. People with undiagnosed ASD often develop other mental health problems and is just hard to unravel the different problems that someone has.

There's not much to be gained by being angry about it. I read some anger management books before I worked out I had ASD and they advised that anger only hurts the angry person. Try to look forwards, not backwards :-)
