@colleenyoung Yeah I have a social worker and therapist that my mom set up but they aren’t helpful at all and infantilize me and makes me worse than I am. Do you really think I have been misdiagnosed with autism based on the Telehealth appointment? They said I do not meet criteria for autism but when I went in person last year and the years before they all said I’m autistic. But I feel like I’m definitely not. What do you think? It definitely sounds like a misdiagnosis?

@gymnastxoxo96, you are asking questions that cannot and should not be answered on an online patient forum. A diagnosis is made through a comprehensive evaluation by qualified healthcare professionals using behavioral observation and developmental history.
