Now there's going to be at least one person going 'this doesn't exist', it does. It's an official diagnosis in the DSM-5, under the Neurodevelopmental Disorder.

So what is OSND? As the DSM-5 states "This category applies to presentations in which symptoms characteristic of a neurodevelopmental disorder that cause impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning predominate but do not meet the full criteria for any of the disorders in the neurodevelopmental disorders diagnostic class." For example, you might fall short on a diagnostic criteria for autism but your symptoms impair some area of functioning. You then get diagnosed with OSND with the subscript stating autism traits. That's what happened to me!

Now this can happen with traits of all neurodevelopmental disorders, which are: - Intellectual Disabilities - Communication Disorders - Autism Spectrum Disorder - Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder - Specific Learning Disorder - Motor Disorders (Tic Disorders)
