Were any of you diagnosed/misdiagnosed with other mental health or neurodivergence before getting an autism diagnosis? If so, what?

ADHD

Was struggling with a few different diagnoses (anxiety, depression, etc) so autism was kinda put on the back burner until I got the rest of them fixed

ADHD. And they keep trying to slap an anxiety label on me just because I talk openly about discrimination, but I don’t feel anxious except when I’m actively being mistreated, which is not a ME problem. I actually still don’t have an autism diagnosis, but I know I should. I just prioritized getting my medical condition figured out first. (hEDS)

So what led to the new diagnosis of autism? (Like how was it realized this was not the whole picture)
