Most commonly Asperger Syndrome is given as a diagnosis when a person was actually Autistic - this is because of stigma attached to Autism. In theory conditions such as social anxiety or ADHD may also be mistaken for Asperger Syndrome. Typically assessments for Autism will be carried out by Autism experts (although not always, often it's carried out by psychologists) so misdiagnosis is low.
