Hi, I'm new to this site. I took a few of the tests online because I have suspected I may have one of the spectrum disorders. Here is what I scored:
Autism/Asperger's test: 37
Depression test: 41
Anxiety test: 3
I've never asked a doctor about this. Does anyone here think I should? Thanks.

Yes. It wouldn't hurt to go to a psychiatrist if you feel that the above scores are affecting your quality of life. Oh, and welcome to the site.

Hi, and welcome aboard!
I agree with Skully.
You might find a lot of relief if you were to seek a psychiatrist over these. - especially the first two which it seems you scored kind of high on. (I'm not sure how high the indiviual tests are, but when I take the mood test 30 and above can be high).

If you have symptoms that are affecting your ability to function in life, then that is definitely a good reason to talk to your doctor or a therapist. Best of luck, and welcome to PsychCentral.

I just found out that I have ADHD and it answers a lot of questions for me. I am 54 years old, but I always struggled and didn't know why. I am glad to now understand what is going on and try to improve the quality of my life.
