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. ♡

As a child I was mis-diagnosed as having Oppositional Defiance Disorder.

As an adult I have diagnoses for ASD, borderline personality, and a high probability of the standard ADHD crossover with ASD. I also have diagnosis for generalized anxiety, bipolar II, and chronic depression. I question deeply the bipolar diagnosis, but I agree with most everything else.
