I sometimes try to forget about Asperger's... but it's popping up again. I found out they put the schizo suffix on my dx because I have social difficulties and they think it's because of negative symptoms of schiz.

Also, my relatives say my social skills are bad, my therapist told me I wasn't picking up social cues, etc...

Plus the obsessions I have that the mental health people acknowledge, but they don't think it's a sign of anything, just a personality trait.

Anyway, I want to know the truth and to be tested... but I've been told in the past it would cost a lot of money and it's not worth it in an adult, that there would really be no other services I could get. But I read the website of the nearest testing center to me, and it said that if you were poor, you might get up to 90% of costs covered, but the testing costs a few thousand dollars and what if it's not covered?

Retaking online tests for this and putting myself lower on the social stuff because of feedback, I now score in the asperger's or near asperger's range.

I think I need more social skills training though. As a kid, I went through social skills therapy and groups and stuff, I have or can get the childhood psych reports to prove it. In fact, I am thinking about swinging by there again and picking them all up. In fact, I wanna see if I have any later high school dx reports, who knows, I might have already been dxed and not know about it.

sigh...
