Hi.

I've been diagnosed at various times with Social Anxiety, General Anxiety, OCD, and Depression.

My sister (who has an Aspie son) recently told me that she thinks our son (6 yo) has Asperger's, so I started researching it. As I started reading about it, I realized that I was reading about myself. I think I have Asperger's.

I took the Autism / Asperger's test here and scored 40. I also took the "Aspie-quiz" at rdos dot net (can't put links in because I'm new) and scored 129/200 Aspie, 74/200 NT.

Short version: although I haven't had an official diagnosis, I'm 99.44% sure I'm an Aspie.

I feel like a lot of my life makes more sense now in the context of Asperger's.

I guess this is just my way of saying, "Hi everyone!"

And I score 28. And I do have Asperger's. I've went through the real tests for it.

What's with this stereotype about numbers and dates? I hate numbers, I hate math.

Rdos bases parts of his test on his theory that Asperger people have more Neanderthal genes than others. Just thought maybe you wanted to know. Of course this theory has no backing up in research.

Instead of relying on online test, please go take the real test.

I figured that out when I was trying to understand the "Hunting" scores on that test.

I'll be discussing this with my psychiatrist at my next appointment.

hi all, i've done various online tests, all of which point towards asperger syndrome; at 43, i feel like something has 'clicked' into place and explains an awful lot about me and my life since childhood, awkwardness, difficulty in social situations, obsessive behavoiur, anxiety etc
im going to talk to my gp, to find out one way or another but i can identify with what youre both saying

Hi ... I just read your post... and I have to say ... same... I too believe I have Aspergers Syndrome... All my life i have been socially a misfit as I seen it... i can't deal with people... My life has been a litany of disasters... anxiety depression... obsessive behavior have dogged me... I am a loner and feel "safe" in my own space and shun social contact... Im akward and feel "different",,, I started to read about Aspergers because my Sis has 2 kids with severe Autism... I identified with her kids... I took the online test and scored 37... I guess all Im saying is... I feel im "home" /cry reading posts in here is like reading my life story... even my fasination with numbers and maths... This is the first time in my life i have felt that Im not a depressive freak... I was badly bullied at school and this pattern has continued right up to the present day... I can't deal with people... I can't deal with change ... it takes me a long time to adjust .. Sorry all this is coming out fast and Im not sure if im making any sense but I see myself here and I too am going to my GP to see if I can be at least diagose properly... I have above average intelligance but socially im akward and feel a misfit...
