I was diagnosed with PDD NOS and NVLD at age 16. I've seen papers saying NVLD, my psychiatrist at the time mentioned PDD NOS. She specialized in ASDs. I was told later I may have Aspergers at 17, then a possibility of classic ASD at age 21.
My question is... Should I seek out another official diagnosis? My secondary diagnosis of Schizoaffective disorder makes things all the more difficult: not everyone believes that and autism can be diagnosed together. Others do. I just don't know if it would help other than self validation. My biggest issue is with communicating, especially when upset, annoyed, or bothered.
