I'm sorry but we here on PC cannot diagnose you. Most of us are not mental health professionals. Our purpose here is to exchange information & experiences as well as to provide one another with support. There are quite a few quizzes & tests here on PC you can take. Here's a link to the listing:

Psychological Quizzes and Tests

There are, of course, forums dedicated to bipliar disorder as well as autism. Here are links to these forums:

And then here are links to 4 articles, from PsychCentral's archives that may be of some interest:

Autism Overview - What Is It? Is There a Test for It?

Asperger's Syndrome

The so called Cambridge Test with 50 questions is not very good for female aspies, it's very very male dominated and I wish it would say in the description. Just like real life often misses to diagnose female aspies, so does this test.

Sorry, I just hate it, and Baron-Cohen, the narcissist behind it.
