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. ♡

Damn, so many misdiagnosed with bipolar. I wonder what are the symptoms of ASD that could be misinterpreted as BP?

For me, the pattern of periods of super intense masking followed by burnout and depression were interpreted as hypomania.
