Where do I go, What do I do?

Post Reply New Topic

Hello folks I'm new to this forum and I'm looking forward to talking to you all.

I was recently diagnosed with Aspergers.
Now I'm not wanting to create a sob story here because there simply isn't one to be had, my life has had it's ups and downs but I have lived with it for the duration with few complaints.

I also suffered from blackouts and did my very best to hide it all for the best part of twenty years, shrugging it off with excuses like "not eaten much today" so on and so forth.
About 6-7 years ago I started developing a serious fear of any solid objects, and damaging myself on them and became agoraphobic.
I went for help with agoraphobia and was sent for CBT and a few sessions with a psychiatrist enlightened me to the extent of my illness.
Aspergers, either Epilepsy or Panic Attacks (still under treatment for a diagnosis), agoraphobia and depression.

The first time I filled in the AQ test I basically disassembled each word and sentence for about an hour, I find it hard to understand written questions, I can read it in so many different ways and answer accordingly, sometimes giving contradicting answers to the same question, I scored 34 online.
The psychiatrist said she wanted a copy, so I printed it out and had my wife read it out to me like a pub quiz, and ran off instinct, I scored 42 points taking each question at face value.

I'm not quite sure where to go from here, do I redo it again and try to achieve the score of 34 again, or should I accept my quick response to the test.

I think most psych tests are designed to be answered quickly, based on first responses.

Either way, taking the same test several times in a row is usually pointless, because it can introduce strong biases.
