Is there any Norwegians here with an official diagnosis, if so would you kindly answer these questions.
PS: I'm 15, in case that matters.

1. Does it take a long time to get the diagnosis, lots of tests etc?
1. Tek det lang tid å få diagnosa, mange testa og slikt?

2. Does it cost anything, if so how much?
2. Koster det noe, i tilfelle kor mykje?

Extra question and mostly irrelevant

3. Do i have to take an ¨Official¨ IQ test?
3. Må eg ta ein ¨Offisiell¨ IQ test?

This i just want to know because i would like to apply for mensa, but I need an official IQ test to prove that I have an IQ over 131(Standard deviation 15).

It took a few months waiting, lots of tests.

Thanks, I was just wondering. But one more thing: Do you get any benefits, other than knowing whether you have it or not?

You could get therapy or accommodations at school if you need that, but there's not really anything to be done.
