I have autism, OCD, and I think I may have ADHD and PTSD. (Heavy trigger warning: CSA ⚠️)

NSFWSpoilerTrauma

I am diagnosed with autism and OCD. I am not an advocate for self-diagnosis, but I do suspect that I may have ADHD and PTSD.

I am genuinely diagnosed with autism and OCD. I'm currently on Lexapro for my OCD. These self-diagnosers diagnosing themselves with a bunch of disorders make me feel bad about my situation. I don't want to sound like some UwU ✨️unique✨️ TikTok person.

I genuinely experienced CSA for a few months at 12 years old because of mom's ex-boyfriend. I am still suffering from the effects of it and I think I may have PTSD because of it. When I was 14, I found out that a boy at school, for whom I had a major longtime crush, had touched little kids. I also found out that he did it 1 year before everyone was even told about it. I think this may have also contributed to my potential PTSD.

I believe that I may have ADHD because of my autism and because I have direct family members with it. My dad and my half-brother/half-first cousin have it (we have the same mom, but our dads are brothers). I also think I show some symptoms of it.
