I'm 45 and not officially diagnosed but I scored a 155 out of 200 on some online quiz and suspect that after years of a mental health diagnosis I may be an aspie. Where can I go for official testing if I have no insurance or lack adequate insurance? It would give me peace of mind.

Hello goofyjimbo, welcome,

I'm Dutch.
I suppose you live in the USA. I hope you'll get this new health care legislation, so you don't have to pay a lot for getting diagnosed. So maybe if you wait a little you can get diagnosed without having to pay for getting diagnosed.

And did you know you can actually edit your posts if you click on the "edit" button in the upper right corner, so you don't have to post two topics, and you can also post a reply to your first post in your topic, so you'll only have one thread/topic, if you want to add something.

Anyway, enjoy your stay on the Wrong Planet!

Welcome to WP! I wish I could help you in your search for an inexpensive diagnosis...I am still paying for mine, and I have somewhat decent insurance...
