I am 23 and female. I display most of the textbook symptoms of Asperger's at least mildly, some more noticably, some not at all. I scored 37 on the Autism Spectrum test, in which most autistics score 32 and above. Just about every test I've taken via the Net points to the strong likelyhood of me being autistic. I was premature, so my motor skills were watched as a child, meaning I was under the care of a professional. It seems as though they'd have caught it then, but since it was the early 90s and they weren't looking for autisim, it might have gone unnoticed, or written off as a symptom of being a premie. I was diagnosed with Turners Syndrome, which can cause autism. Regardless of whether or not it should have been recognized by now, I've known I'm not normal for some time now. I'm scoring on tests as autistic, as well as showing symptoms. What should I do?

Hi. I think I have enough posts to add a link.
http://www.webmd.com/brain/autism/tc...home-treatment Like you said, it is usually diagnosed earlier, and the article reflects that. Do you think these sorts of things could help, whether or not you have a diagnosis of Aspergers? |

You should go see a professional. I had also doubts like you and I went to see a psychologist and he made me do a bunch of different tests. I got the diagnosis just like I suspected.. SO I recommend you do that and you will get your answer. Chill. xox

You need to go see a psychiatrist or psychologist. They will be able to observe you and decide if you have Aspergers or something else. From what I've read, some Aspie symptoms can mimic the symptoms of other disorders like Borderline Personality, or Bipolar.
