How can I know whether I have AS?

Post Reply New Topic

Hello, everybody - or anyone interested.

I'm almost 40, and I have suspected for some time I have some kind of ASD (my wife quite often tells me so, following my mother, to whom I'm "not normal"). This week I've read a book that made me think harder about it.

The problem is: in the place I live I don't think it is even remotely possible to find a specialist to diagnose me - or tell me I'm just weird, in a "normal" way. And I'm quite confortable with my life, so I'm not willing to go traveling around just to find that out.

So, my question is: how can I, by myself, achieve some certainty on whether I've got AS?

If you can relate to the majority of the symptoms (more than just a few) then I think you can be quite sure that you have it, without an official diagnosis. If it's not interfering with your life I see no point in one anyway.

So, yeah. Have you tried any Aspie quizzes, such as this one?
I find it kind of reassuring to see my score.

Sparx,

Thank you! I've completed the quiz and I'm "very likely an Aspie". It's kind of a relief, it helps to explain many things.

I have another worry now, maybe you -or someone else - can help me with this: how - and when - will I know whether my two-month old boy also has it?

Thanks again,

Mufasa
