Quizzes or questionnaires are used to screen, not diagnose. They are also good for getting a history, and identifying behaviours/thinking, that may or may not be causing difficulty.
Early childhood development has to be included in the assessment. Autistic traits are usually evident in the first few years of life.
A psychiatrist, psychologist and neuropsychologist can make an Asperger diagnosis. Some people don't bother and diagnose themselves based on internet quizzes.
Note: There is a resource thread at the top, just above the listed threads on the forum's page.

i think it's rdos. regardless, i will let therapist decide. i am still waiting for the clinic to call me back to make an appointment. in the 90s, hardly anyone heard of autism i am a kid from the 90s hence i am 26. back then, never heard of aspie or autism as nobody understood why kids had such an issue. who said anything about diagnosing myself using an internet quiz?!?
i was just asking could this be a possibility? all of those quiz questions are almost the same questions they ask for ADD/ADHD what's your point? i felt the quiz was interesting i think it was made up by an actually doctor not someone who's the average joe who came up with silly questions. i've taken quizzes through webmd.com a medical site.
like i said before, my idiot parents never took me to get tested when i was growing up. past k-12 teachers as well as college instructors have said i have a problem and need to get checked. i knew i had a problem at age 10! teachers have said my speech was terrible my parents refused to sign paperwork to help me pronounce words correctly. i had teachers all my life who felt i needed to be in a special class yet wouldn't test me for learning disabilities it was just for the money on their end.
college didn't test you because they didn't cover that for students and was told to go outside of college to get tested. hence is why i am doing this all by myself!
