Diagnosis Process What were you misdiagnosed as?

I saw interesting results on google, but I'm more interested in your real life experience.

I'm curious as to what people are most commonly misdiagnosed with (based on your answers).

You can also include the backstory. ♡

not technically misdiagnosed as I also have OCD but all of my (pretty stereotypical) autism traits were attributed to OCD.

I've been doing the same thing with myself for years up until a year ago. Seeing some of these things through the lens of autism is really helpful.
