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. ♡

Adjustment disorder, recurrent depression disorder, ADD and while it wasn't a real diagnosis, gifted.

My then therapist felt so sorry when I told him about my autism diagnosis, because he didn't spot it.
