Well i'm a natural recluse and have a hard time socialising/making friends. I'm trying to figure out whether this is down to my own lazy social choices over the years (i'm 20 now) or something else like aspergers. I just took the rdos aspie-quiz (suggested by someone on these boards):

My results were:

Your Aspie score: 99 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 81 of 200
You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits

Should i go for a diagnosis?

If you are 100% convinced that you have Asperger's then yes go for it.

Btw, I done the same quiz and I got 71 out of 200 for the Aspie score and I am diagnosed with Asperger's so I would kinda ignore that quiz at it's completely rubbish, IMO.

Or..I have it worse than you? I honestly don't know. I don't really have many friends and i find social situations very confusing.

I'm never going to be 100% sure just from online tests. Should i just forget about it and get on with my life? I mean it shouldn't make much of a difference whether i know i have it or not?

Welcome.

It could be something else, but regardless, this is a good place to learn about social skills and such.
