Ultimatley how do I know?

Post Reply New Topic

Well, recently I'm not sure if I have AS or not. I was said to have a mild case, but how do I know?
They thinkso typically what I would consider 'normal' people to have it, like Thom Yorke and Bob Dlyan. People who strike me as a bit obssesive and akward at times, as opposed to complete social loners.
A bit akin to me if you ask. I flinch alot and am considered to be obssesive and the like.
But how do I know, a\s I'm being impatient, as to get a proper diagnosis I'm going to have to wait a while.

Also, things like the AQ Test or the Aspie Quiz can help focus your mind on what problems you may or may not experience.

That could help give you an idea of the degree of your Aspieness, but is no substitute for a proper diagnosis, of course.

Remember that all Aspies are different and their experience of AS is different too. As can be argued that just because you have traits X,Y or Z doesn't mean you're an Aspie, not having traits A,B or C doesn't mean you're not an Aspie either. Hope that makes sense!

The core impairments that define AS are problems in Social Communication, Social Understanding and Imagination:
This page from the National Autisitc Society might help in defining that and help you relate (or otherwise) your issues better.

Thank you for filling out this questionnaire.

Your Aspie score: 127
