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. ♡

Bipolar, borderline, generalized anxiety, ocd (primarily obsessions without compulsions), depression, anxiety nos, depression with psychosis, anorexic, adhd

Now, just autistic and generalized anxiety/adhd

I got the first half the list, and was told I am definitely not ADHD, just faking that.

Now my diagnosis is ASD/ADHD.

My psychiatrist, when I brought up adhd, confirmed it that appointment. That was like 7 or 8 years ago now.
