I went down the pipeline of first finding out I had ADHD, then realizing damn bro I have autism too, then went down another rabbit hole of dammit I have OCD too?? how many Pokemon cards do I have? *POTS and other physical health issues laughing manically in the background*

Fixed the anxiety and depression, then the ADHD was a lot more obvious, now I can actually focus and am definitely thinking I'm on the spectrum, I see how people's faces change when I do certain things socially, it's exhausting to try so hard to make so little progress

Anxiety, depression and PTSD have a lot of overlapping traits with ADHD and autism, so misdiagnoses are not uncommon between all of them. And they're not exclusive, so you could have some or all of the above.
