Having just read the title, I had a picture in my head of a psychologist cutting through a jungle to get to a village in the middle of nowhere to diagnose the residents. 
Taking things literally? |

| Thanks for the replies. I understand, of course, that if the criteria isn't present, than the problem isn't Asperger's. I just didn't know if there was anything that is used (when most of the criteria is met) to rule it out. I read a post a few weeks ago about someone who was certain that she had i... |

| I've been reading about Asperger's for several weeks now. I've read a good deal about the diagnostic criteria and common symptoms. I was wondering if anyone here knew if there are any signs that indicate that the problem is not Asperger's? Any red flags used to rule Asperger's out? |

Found that very interesting. I'd be up for more. |

| I remember watching an episode of voyager when I was little in which a woman tries to form an emotional relationship with a Vulcan, which of course is not reciprocated. Through the episode, they showed flashbacks of the Vulcan's training in controlling his emotions. I was about 5 or 6 at the time an... |

| I think the main point is that autism is not something which you "have". You have a cold or a broken arm. These can come and go and it'll make no difference, but "autism" is simply a name for the type of person you are. Thats an interesting way to look at it. They told us the exact opposite in my s... |

| About a month ago we briefly discussed ASDs in my biology class. Some of what the teacher mentioned sounded familiar, so I started doing some research. Some of the things I read about seemed to fit perfectly while others didn't. I joined WP and I have been reading the forums. At the same time, I kee... |

| A psychiatrist could help. Or . . . try watching a movie considered to have brilliant acting . . . if you don't get why, that could be an indication.

I have several traits: social problems, sensory problems, attention problems, obsessive interests... What I'm not su... |
