Perhaps you are an aspie. But may I ask why it's important for you to gain the label? In my personal experience I've found it better not to tell anyone I have aspergers, seeing as when I do I people make me a charity case.


I think I would rather have the label of "aspie", than the label of a "This is my choice."

Have you taken any of the tests? i am aware they are not true diagnostic tools, but it will at least let you see if you possess 'key' spectrum traits.

As there is no 'cure' for ASD I find the diagnosis will be for peace of mind only. I do not need an excuse, I do not need a crutch, I am going to do my best in life regardless.


Online tests? I taken every single one I can find, and have been told I have aspergers on every one of them. My little brother has autism too, so...

anf Yeah, I am not going to use this as a crutch or a excuse. I want to know why I act this way, and think this way, and feel this way.
