Poll: What is your diagnosis

[the_tortoise]

If you have received multiple spectrum diagnoses, use the one that is most recent or the one that seems most accurate to you (or just pick "other"...if I could have had more poll options I would have included an option for the situation where you have received multiple diagnoses and can't or don't feel comfortable choosing just one of them).

I made it so you can pick three options because some people with DSM-5 ASD diagnosis could have different severity/support levels for the two different symptom domains. (Otherwise I would have set it at 2 options -- one for specific diagnostic label(s) and one for self versus profesional diagnosis.)

You can select "other" for diagnosis type or diagnostic label.

I am just curious about the distribution of the labels among us.

I went for Autism level 1 but I may not quite be diagnosable not sure. It's dependent on coping abilities and a judgement call.

Options 6 and 9 for me.

 

[Major Tom]

ASD lvl 1 here, professionally diagnosed 2 years ago.

I was diagnosed just before they removed the word Aspergers.
After all the tests were in the psychologist called it Aspergers or High Functioning Autism.
I don't know what my level would be under the new system.
Good discussion for next time I see my therapist.

I was officially diagnosed with Asperger's Disorder in 2012 under the DSM IV.

Haha, I neglected to share my own diagnosis; I was professionaly diagnosed with Autistic Disorder under the DSM-IV. No severity/support level attached.

Autistic Disorder, once at the age of 4, and again when I hit a roadblock in adolescence at 17. All professionally diagnosed.

My early development ruled out Asperger's, so that's not a guess or typo. I think I would be classified as Level 1 ASD had I been diagnosed today.

 

[Ezra]

was diagnosed level 3 at age 3. was upgraded to level 2 shortly before I turned 9 years old. Although there's some level 3 carryover in some areas. so it's been called moderate to severe.

 

[Drakanav]

Diagnosed with ASD at age 3, and re-diagnosed at age 13. Severity and support varies by the minute/hour/day.

 

[sabrdawg]

ASD Level I. Diagnosed in 2014.
