How can I deal with being misdiagnosed by my psychologist?

[Gymnastxo96]

Back in August of 2025 I did phycological testing at a phycologist that I go to and they said my full IQ was 76 which I don’t understand because I type just fine and have good grammar and could type full sentences. Many people say you sure your IQ is 76 because I type just fine and have good grammer and can communicate well. And my adaptive behavior score was 57 which is pretty low. Why would they misinterpret that too? Why would they misinterpret the results and think I don’t understand medical decisions and they recommend medical guardianship. Why would they misinterpret my results? Now people think I am mentally challenged because of this. Are they wrong for misinterpreting the results to make me worse then I seem? Keep in mind I do have high functioning autism so do you think my autism played a role in how I did in the IQ test or you think I was completely misdiagnosed and it could be something else?

Have you read the full thread? OP keeps saying she’s high functioning but then asking if she should only date men of ‘her level’ ie ‘lower mental age’ (her words).

I didn't have any trouble understanding it.

Wow. Aren’t you rude? Have you seen the advice she has had.

Ironically you are criticising what others are saying and how they are saying it. We have all given positive advice and help but OP argues with all of it.

Nor me - nothing says ‘be kind’ though like someone having a go at posters for their language

Please please please please please please, OP, for the love of all that is holy, STOP with the copy and paste responses!

I meant this in the most kindly way possible, but your posts indicate that you clearly aren't as 'high functioning' as you perceive yourself to be. Your LD and IQ issues are evident through your posts. I'm ADHD and autistic (previously Asperger's so 'high functioning autism') - I moved away from home at 18, have a professional career, a degree, master's and PhD, yet I still decided not to have children because a) the difficulties I do have would prevent me from being an adequate parent and b) because I didn't want my child to grow up with those same difficulties that I had

They probably are but if there not carried out properly they are really not accurate and upsetting.

I am not copying and pasting my answers. This is in my own words. Please stop making up lies that I’m not high functioning when I am. You haven’t met me and don’t know me and you shouldn’t make that assumption. Thanks! I’m telling you the truth that I am not copying and pasting my answers. I am capable of a lot of things. What are your thoughts now?

What is with the repeated instances of “What are your thoughts now?”

You are starting to sound like either AI/ChatGPT or, if they’re “your own words”, you don’t seem to realize that you are quite literally repeating the exact same things like the text version of a Tourette’s verbal tic. My father had Tourette’s, so I am familiar with the verbal tics, and you are typing out an online version of the phrase-repetition one.

Either that or you’re using AI to wind us all up and laughing gleefully as we fall all over each other to try and tell you how the world really works.

Why do you keep saying ‘what do you think of me now’?

We only have your posts to go by and at no point have you said anything to prove the tests were wrong.

You are being very immature - you keep repeating how high functioning you are but you don’t understand what people are saying to you.

And accusing people of making up lies is against the spirit of the site, not to mention bloody rude!

You really don't seem high functioning at all to me. Not one bit.

Any minute now you will get a cut and paste followed by ‘what do you think now’?

But you said no men are interested in you and you are always alone. Like many things you write, you are contradicting yourself.

"What are your thoughts?"

AAAAARRRGHHHHH

I am not using Al! I am using my own words. Why don’t you think I am high functioning at all when doctors have said I am high functioning?

Stop bullying me! I am a nice person and deserve to be loved by a nice guy and will he more therapy to increase my mental age and do classes on more independent living! A lot of people that know me love me for who I am and think I’m very nice

I don't think that's what anyone is suggesting @Gymnastxo96 . Being independent is one thing. Having your IUD removed is another decision. Lots of people live independently but aren't ready to have a baby. Some people are never ready to have a baby, even if they're independent.

It sounds like you're focusing on what you can do to convince people that you should have your IUD removed, rather than just trying to be more independent.

Yeah but what people are saying to me is making me cry because they think I’m low functioning when I am not and they haven’t met me and I understand a lot of things and trying my best to be better ! 😭

Yeah some men aren’t interested in me because of my autism and most guys love me for who I am! I’m a very sweet girl and I’m trying my best to understand what having a baby entails and I’m clearly not ready.

The OP is driving people a bit mad, and not engaging in any way at all with the excellent advice given so far. I want to give her some ways of being able to help herself with the condition she has, and the situation she is in, but I think it's just going to fall on deaf ears again. I won't bother wasting my time again.

What do you think of me and this now, OP? What are your thoughts on this?😅

You think I have Tourette’s? I blink my eyes a lot? Is this a verbal tic and I’m not realizing it?

This is why people say you aren’t high functioning. Either you are making up this thread and deliberately posting contradictory statements or you don’t realize what you are writing and how the statements don’t make sense together.

I won’t ask what do you think of me anymore I just want kindness and empathy on this thread. I am not perfect in any way and trying to be independent so I could live a normal life! That’s the goal!

How have the doctors called you high functioning when you said they assessed you with learning difficulties?

Nobody is bullying you.People have invested a lot of time and effort to advise you and you are clearly unable to take it on board and in fact are being quite rude to some people.

I'm sorry, that was a bit harsh and unkind of me. And I apologise for my rather rude last sentence. I think i just found it frustrating to see others try to be positive and helpful, but you are not seeing what they're saying.

We do want to help you, OP. We just need you to try and understand what we are saying about your situation. It's really important to know what you are getting yourself into.

Apologies again I hope you are ok ❤️
