Hey. I'm on a very similar path to you at the moment. Except the doctor I've just been to see says "I don't think a diagnosis will do you any good. We're all individuals, labels are really meaningless. They don't define the person you are."
Jesus, I want to cry, and I want to break stuff.
Anyway, what he maybe thinks is that, because depression/bi polar, hallucinations, derealisation, severe anxiety and/or paranoia can be considered a symptom. A lot of people with AS have one of more, I think, because they have AS with all the faulty wiring and stuff, although it can mean there is something else as well. My friend is an occupational therapist, or very nearly one, and this is what she told me when I confessed to her about auditory and some visual hallucinations.
