Thanks for your responses. I wish I could respond to each and every one of you right now. I'll have to do that a little later.

Anyway, I feel like I don't deserve to post here because I still question my diagnoses. I'm not even sure about my GAD or ADHD diagnoses, either. I feel like the bipolar-esque symptoms and the symptoms from those 2 conditions fall under the autism spectrum, possibly me having Asperger's since I'm very high functioning. Oh, and plus the OCD Dx.

Sometimes I wonder if I do stimming, based on what I'm reading about autism. I've seen stimming first hand from my cousin who has bad autism. Well, I don't *think* she suffers from mental retardation (since she's fully capable of communicating/talking), but she has mental breakdowns quite often. One example is her throwing herself on the kitchen floor, kicking and screaming while squeezing her ears over a sound she doesn't like. Or getting VERY upset over a pair of pants that bother her because of their texture. She scratches and tries to tear them off. (She's 10 now.) She also HATES anything that's out of order. She needs everything in a specific order and they better not be moved; else, she gets very angry and can be violent. She especially likes to put things in numerical order.

My behavior is not THAT bad, as I would never throw myself on the kitchen floor and kick/scream over an uncomfortable sound. I also wouldn't try to tear off my clothes. I never did that when I was 10, either. But I do get overwhelmed by certain sounds, I do get overwhelmed by textures I find unpleasant, I do get overwhelmed by things out of order, etc.. So I want to be evaluated for autism, but I don't know how since it's difficult for adults to get diagnosed. Thanks for reading.
