| The Aspie quiz is pretty good. You sure seem like an Aspie girl to me, from what you've said. Sure, although it's not supposed to get worse over time, it could (effectively) do so. Especially if a lot of your 'weirdness' wasn't too obvious, due to being things that you got into later in life? If yo... |

| Huh. Diagnosis isn't that reliable, more like. Bear in mind it's not just the accuracy of the criteria, which are complex, on their own but involve deep knowledge & understanding of Autism/ Aspergers & all the ways it affects people, etc. And, once you've got it on your record, you can't ge... |

| Look up Schizoid Personality "Disorder" as well. I only mention this because of your high NT score on the Aspie quiz (that's not to say it's completely accurate). Otherwise, your description is characteristic of AS or PDD-NOS, etc. I received a diagnosis and am currently doing Cognitive Behaviour T... |

| You certainly seem to have AS traits. No one thinks I have it either (I have been questioning for more than two years). But, TBH, the general population does not really understand AS. What does your family think of you? How about your friends or acquaintances? My parents have called me weird to my ... |

| Yep.....I'd guess you're one of us, from your description of your traits, but to be more certain you'd need to take the online tests and then get a professional diagnosis.....even then, you won't be absolutely sure, because the diagnosis is still a very subjective thing. But it's hard to see how yo... |

Took the other test as well:
Aspie Score: 120 of 200
NT Score: 101 of 200
You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits
Okay? What do you think about that? Made me a bit more confused. Seriously, what if it's all in my head? |

| Well, I think I'd recommend, say, the Aspie test, first. Then, consider the pros & cons of getting a diagnosis. Do you need help you can only get with one? Otherwise, I'd advise against getting anything official. I'd say you're pretty likely an Aspie bu that's just IMHO. Which Aspie test are yo... |

| Hi, I'm aware people have probably written posts like this one before, so please bear with me. I'm 21 years old and I suspect I might have Asperger's. I've felt different my whole life and the fact that I'm not sure why drives me crazy. Anyway, here are some of the things which make me feel weird in... |
