So far I've taken the manic, BPD, and the aspergers quizzes and am confused. I'm confused because I've gotten moderate to severe on all three and its always been my understanding that at least bpd and aspergers was unrelated at all. I've often suspected that I have AS because of some of my social weirdness. Its been interfering with my life lately whatever it is I have (I have something, and hope its treatable).

I really wouldn't take those tests seriously, my friend. They may be interesting to take, but they don't diagnose. The ONLY way to get a diagnosis is by a professional. You would need to see either a psychiatrist or a psychologist. If you really want to know, see one of them.

But don't rely on those quizzes. They aren't very reliable. They MIGHT give you some idea, but they could just confuse you too. LOL

Best of luck and take care. Hugs, Lee

If you look into the conditions it might be more clear where you stand. One symptom a quiz picks up can be a piece of the puzzle in more than one disorder so it is easy for tests to get things mixed up. And something is only a disorder if it reaches a certain severity.
