I used to be a member of DragCave for a while. I liked the idea of collecting dragons and only having to log on every few days. (Of course, I became obsessed and started logging on far more often than that.) After I joined the DC forums, I discovered a thread for Aspergers and Autism, and someone there posted a link to the rdos website quiz (which was on version 2 at the time). I'm addicted to personality quizzes and stuff like that, so obviously I had to take it, and when I looked at and posted and analyzed my results (including looking up traits and anecdotes and comparing myself to them), I became obsessed with the idea that I might have Asperger's. Since then I've taken the quiz a number of times again with different input for childhood knowledge as well as some other quizzes.

I'd post all of my analyses and results and stuff, but they're pretty darn long and cumbersome to read, so I'm going to post the links to my posts on the DC forum instead.

First time I took the quiz and an extensive analysis of my results, coupled with my nondesire for an official diagnosis.

Somebody responded and I responded to them (quotes). Their response to my response is on the next page.

I took the quiz again and got a slightly different result. Someone noticed dips in Aspie social and perception on my graph and concluded that I probably wasn't an Aspie due to those.

My reaction to asking a close friend about the possibility of me having Asperger's. I didn't post this before, but one of the points she brought up was that I usually score ISTP on the Myers-Briggs and ISTP is the most common personality type to appear in Aspies. Or something like that.

The last time I took the rdos quiz on version 2, includes results and another extensive analysis. These results probably reflect me most accurately given that my mom actually sat in with me and offered input on things I do or had done in my childhood that I didn't notice or remember. Also, in that discussion, I decided that I wouldn't be opposed to actually having the diagnosis even though all that would follow would be my refusal to take medication and possibly some expensive therapy or classes that use rudimentary exercises to teach me to behave like a normal human being. (Not that I'm discrediting therapy/classes.) Finally, a childhood behavior score thing at the very bottom that I took with my mom and seems pretty consistent with an Asperger's diagnosis I think.

Looking back through the thread I'm noticing some similarities between myself and other people that I haven't bothered to notice before. Someone posted this and I can relate to quite a bit of it. I've quoted only what I can relate to.
I took the Autism/Asperger's quiz here. The first time, before I signed up for an account, I scored 41. After I signed up and took the quiz again I scored 38, which is Autism likely.

Some time ago I found a checklist of common traits of female adult Aspies that someone compiled. Some of the traits and some of the larger categories sounded a lot like me while some of them did not. I might post that at a later date. I'm not sure how conclusive it is, but I do think it's good to have if I ever decide to pursue a diagnosis.

I also recently found a 15-minute YouTube video testimony that I can relate to so much.

I'd elaborate on how it applies to me but I think it'd be easier to show what doesn't apply to me.

However, I think I've given y'all enough to read for now.

One last note: I have considered the possibility of Schizoid or Avoidant Personality Disorders, but given the prevalence of some of these traits in my early youth, I don’t really think either of these are quite as accurate. (To be honest, I'm not even sure Asperger's is accurate. Maybe it's not and I'm just weird.)

I could talk more, but I really should wrap up this post so that some of you might actually read it lol.
