I am a 22 year old female and about three weeks ago I had a neuropsych to test for Aspergers. I got the results today and the doctor says I don't have it. She thinks I have ADHD and social anxiety. I disagree with her though. I still think I have Aspergers. Less then a year ago, my psychologist, whom I have been going to for at least 10 years, told me she suspects I have Aspergers. I don't know why it took her 10 years to figure it out, but I guess that doesn't matter. Anyway, I did a lot of research on it, and I read the book Aspergirls. Reading that book changed my life. I felt like it was written about me. I had been struggling my whole life, trying to figure out why I wasn't normal, and that book seemed to answer all of my questions.
So my question is, is it possible to still have Aspergers even though the neuropsych says you don't? Should I get a second opinion?
by your language use I'd say you have borderline asperger's. Also one trait of asperger's is not following authority and also needing affirmation of things. You also say it doesn't matter that your psychologist doesn't think you have asperger's, why doesn't it matter or do you mean it doesn't matter to your doctor. You also feel that you're not normal as opposed to different Aspie's often put themselves down in that way and it doesn't seem like social anxiety is the reason for you doing so.
