Do you guys think I should get tested for Aspegers??

Post Reply New Topic

Hey guys! I think I might have Aspegers but I'm not sure if I should go get tested or not. I took many online aspie tests and all of them came back as certain that I have it but I don't know if I should really go off of those tests. Here are the things that make me think I may have it:
-I lack really bad in eye contact. I can barely look people in the eye but I really don't see the big thing with it.
- I have an extreme obsession with Anime and Japan! I can ramble on and on and I don't know when to stop until someone starts a new subject (even then I still want to talk about anime )
-I'm awful at sports no matter how hard I try!! ! I feel like my brain forces me to be bad at sports and P.E. ( which I always get laughed at .-.)
- I'm a very brutally honest person. And most of the time I think it's just being normal, but apparently I'm being rude... (Like one time I had a bored look on my face when I was meeting my moms boyfriend's parents. My mom asked me what is wrong and I said "I'm bored" and she got so mad at me. But I thought I was being normal but I guess that's being rude but okay...
- I also have a hard time socially. I like to be alone as well. I have a hard time making friends and when I do make friends, I usually lose them because I get too attached to them.
-I also have a hard time paying attention to things ( not sure if this is apart of Aspegers or not)
-I also have a REALLY hard time fitting in. Even the most shyest, quietest kids have a better time fitting in then me .-. (Again not sure if Aspegers symptom of not)
-I also have a super hard time reading people's emotions. I can only tell when someone's smiling that their happy. Other than that I can't tell when their mad, sad, bored, etc.

So what do you guys think? Professional testing or just paranoia??? Thank you

That's ASPERGER's.

Go for the professional testing.

At best, you'll have identified a problem.

At worse, you'll have wasted your money for nothing.

Good luck.

Although none of us are professionals, I'd say that you sound like an aspie to me.

If you want to get diagnosed, and have the financial resources to do so, by all means. Getting a diagnosis is a turning point for a lot of aspies.

Thanks guys! Are diagnosis expensive??

Well, it depends on lots of things-- your location, age, GP, etc. Diagnoses in the US can cost thousands of dollars, but if you already have a psychologist/psychiatrist, the fee may be different.

I'm 15 and live in Phoenix,AZ. Do you think I show enough symptoms to be worth the money and time??

It depends ... you'll need your parents' permission anyway, so why not ask them instead?

Yeah problem is I bet my mom will think I'm being ridiculous and my dad won't pay for my testing but I have faith that they will take me because I need to know! But thanks for all the help
