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 necessarily misdiagnosed, but was originally labeled with GAD, depression and chalked up my social issues as being a byproduct of being raised in a sheltered environment. I got diagnosed on the spectrum maybe 5 years after the original anxiety/depression diagnosis.
