Hi internet. Diagnose me.

Post Reply New Topic

Here's the readers digest version.

First, I'm sick of doctors. I know more then they do regarding the meds they prescribe, and tend to piss them off when requesting specific regimens.

Been diagnosed with: ADHD, narcolepsy, depression, social anxiety.

Married, 2 kids, unemployed for 10 years. Wife has stable work. My kid is showing similar ?symptoms as me and I'd like him to enjoy his childhood (mine was rough).

Me: Very bright, but a mess. I bore people apparently. As a result I'm a happy loner for the most part. Interests all over the place, but nothing I can truly excel at...(LHC, neurology, drugs of use and abuse, guinipig of said drugs of use and abuse, botany, I build my own computers, internet and political junky of leftist persuasion, sports that require few to no other participants like rock climbing and mountain biking, on and on and on).

I hate laugh tracks in TV shows. I hate conversing with people that don't know me...awkward. I dislike phone conversations more and more. Wife thinks I'm rude and way too blunt. EDIT: people often get completely lost trying to talk to me. I can't understand other people well. I stay quite as a result.

Could I be barking up the right tree being at this site? To whom do I send my co-pay?

I think you are going in the right direction, but it remains unclear what it is that's wrong (or right) with you in a short post, I suggest you take this, it's a decent indicator http://www.rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php

So what do these scores mean?

Aspie score: 151 of 200
Neurotypical: 58 of 200
You are very likely an aspie.

Ehhh. How close to reality is this test?

Gymnopilus Spectabilis? --- If so, love it.

These are all traits that come with HF Autism, too. Here, these are the academically developed tests:

Google and Wikipedia, cross referenced through multiple Bing pings result in the following diagnosis courtesy of the internet

That will be $500, please. PM me to arrange payment.

Scored a 36 on the AQ test.

I wish there was a way someone could crack my skull open and find an actual difference in the formation of my brain. If you have the equipment and the time, I've got your fricken test bunny right here. Probe me, stick me, cut me, irradiate me for science. Anyone?

Keep digging. We'll offer genuine advice and a smattering of snide sarcasm. But you have to do the leg work.

Take that test after learning more about autism. As you learn more about the symptoms, sometimes your score will change because you are giving more accurate answers. Mine went up from high 30s to low 40s then stabilized at 42. Sometimes it will go down as you learn more.

It is also NOT a diagnostic test. It is a screening test meant to help decide if more formal testing should be done.

I remember taking the rdos test, score was surprising.

I think it was 180/200 and 10-20/200, can't really remember.

You should take all those test and show the results to a mental health professional if you plan on getting a dx eventually.

good one
