psychiatrist looked at the neuropsychologic evaluation results of autism+adhd and was not convinced. not that there isn’t anything going on, but he thinks my case isn’t as conclusive as the results claim it to be and i’m still open to be diagnosed with maybe other kind of personality disorder (perhaps ocd). he’s not discarding autism either, he’s just adding other possibilities

(he’s pretty sure about the adhd, though)

not sure what to think of it, and also not sure if i should stay here

    Autism isn’t a personality disorder; it’s a neurodevelopmental one. OCD similarly isn’t a personality disorder; it’s a behavioral one, and the closest personality disorder is OCPD in cluster C.

      yeah, sorry about the imprecisions in the terminology, i just tried to repeat what the psychiatrist said, but i failed. what i think he meant is basically: “might be autism; might be ocd; might be some other thing. i’m pretty sure about adhd tho”

        Yeah, don’t worry; my comment wasn’t meant to own you with facts and logic™. Just to educate, since I know picking up a bunch of jargon in the setting of an appointment is extremely difficult. Hope things go well for you!
