Hi, sorry you are going through this, and sorry for what I'm about to say, it is very blunt. I too would rather talk to a computer or "find" an answer in a book. But you can't. You can have the most detailed instructions for open heart surgery, but you wouldn't attempt to do it on your fiancé. It's the same with the myriad of websites and "test" that "tell you" you have a particular disease. Some of these are for fun, some may have some truth, but none will tell you what you have. Diagnosis happens in a two way multidimensional aspect. When you talk to a doctor, they will listen to what you are saying, but they also will observe your body language and non-verbal communication. Only then do you have a chance at a diagnosis and even then, it is somewhat of a best guess. This is psychiatry and medicine. We would like to think that because it is scientific there are yes/no answers. Psychiatry and medicine don't have right/wrong answers. They have best guesses based on the information presented. Sometimes it will take several guesses before the doctors find a solution you and them can live with. Take a copy of the test and your score to your GP and he/she will have a starting point. Diagnosed, with meds and treatment you become "normal", you won't hear and see things others don't. Good luck!
