My diagnosis of PDD-NOS does not satisfy and I think of myself as having Autism or Aspergers, but I had been diagnosed with PDD-NOS. I even said to my doctor that he gave me the wrong diagnosis.

 thats so difficult when that happens. have you been able to get a second opinion? a different doctor may see it differently. maybe someone more specialized in autism?PDD-NOS is still on the spectrum of autism.

I didn't even think of that, but that does sound like a good idea.

I assume you were diagnosed before DSM-5. In that there is no difference made between autism and Asperger's. The problem with the new criteria is that some with PDD-NOS fall out of the diagnosis of autism spectrum altogether. That probably should be the "real" worry if they think you belong in the new diagnosis.

Yes I did get diagnosed before the DSM-5, but I think it sucks as to how they did it.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
