Hi

The diadnostic criteria are mostly rooted in medical history and the age at which you met various developmental milestones (walking tying shoelaces. riding a bike etc).

The criteria don't really look at the emotional impact of our comparing ourselves or being compared to others for the tasks/operations we find more difficult and beat ourselves up about.
