We'll finally see if I can get an official diagnosis for AS. Wish me luck, everyone!

Good luck.

I'd be curious to hear what you go through. I understand it takes quite a few hours of tests - 4 or 5 hours.

Good luck FireMinstrel, you're so going to need it :D

Can I ask? If you don't have AS, what would you do? and what would your reaction be?

Thanks for the well-wishes, everyone.
To answer people's questions, as for what they did in the evaluation, I answered a bunch of questions about myself, had some cognitive testing done, along with some kind of spatial relations test. Then they had me fill out this questionnaire, which I will have to finish when I come back in next week.
If I turn out to not have Aspergers...well, I'm not sure what the hell I've got instead, but I would certainly have to find out.
