My psychological evaluation

Post Reply New Topic

I was in a hospital and a psychologist did an interview and had me fill out a form.

Three things come to mind:

He noted that crossed that I crossed and recrossed my legs (which I have noticed, too). Could this a form of stimming, or is it more of an obsessive-compulsive thing?

He said that I seemed to think he knew more than he actually did, and that this might be an Asperger's thing. How so?

He also said I was hyperverbal (which I knew I was at the time). Is this more an Aspie or OCD trait?

BTW, the diagnostic impression was

Axis I:
300.3 Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
295.70 Schizoaffective Disorder
299.80 Continue to rule out the possibility of Asperger's Disorder

what exactly does this mean?

"299.80 Continue to rule out the possibility of Asperger's Disorder"

I think that's the psychologist's way of saying that likely have it. Odd way to say it, but that's the way psychologists write and talk. Probably should have said "Asperger's Syndrome", though.
