You are very likely an Aspie
I'm 15, any ideas on what to do, or what anythin' shows?

I've been looking for autistic tests recently since I have problems with social situations and I really find it hard to realize why people bother so much when I don't like to talk or I get upset when I'm interrupted (I just don't get it, who doesn't upsets if they are interrupted?) besides other things.
On this test I got these results:
Your Aspie score: 151 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 52 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

And I made other test

I find it a bit hard to find professional help without my family's judgement towards me but I'd really appreciate any feedback from people who are in the same situation as me.

The family situation can be difficult, and normally is. I have some troubles with my wife in this respect.

what would be the best way to go about seeking a professional diagnosis? i've been thinking about this for a while now, but the last time i went to see a psychiatrist i ended up hooked on paxil for social phobia. as a side note, how is getting me too stoned to care if i have friends supposed to help me make them? i have a lot of the traits but i really don't know what do here.

I would find a professional that specialized in Asperger diagnosis, if you want to go that route. Here in my section of the USA, diagnosis, if not necessary for employment or some other reason, can be quite costly.

Those with Asperger''s tend along two lines, they have difficulties reading faces and dealing socially (to greater or lesser degrees...this is a spectrum after all) AND they tend to be more intelligent then those friends of their same age group. The test is real but depends on a person's honesty for one, and it is not conclusive as it takes much more testing to be sure.

It says I'm a very likely Aspie, I just want to know if I am then what would my life turn out to be? As I'm actually not 19 and I'm not 13 yet, I'm 11 and I'm sry for lying about my age but it said I wasn't able to sign up bc I'm too young, I can't tell my parents because they'll say I don't have it then make an excuse so I have to wait till I'm older and moved out or somethin and go to the doctors to have a test. Anyway, what would I turn out like???? I'm sort of proud of who I am because even though I hate it I still try to get in social activties like Athletics and that, so could it get worse? I'm even thought to have anxiety before I got told that it might not be anxiety and it could be aspergers, or is aspergers the same?
Thnx

You can BE or TURN OUT any way you want to.

Your aspie score: 107 out of 200
Your neurotypical score: 108 of 200
You seem to have both aspie and neurotypical traits
I'm in the forties and believe that the social / coping skills have somehow make us less aspie in the appearance, especially when you are a mild aspie.
But i'll tell you i am never happy since my childhood with all the copings with parents, friends, some colleagues...
Yet, while the above test very much described my feelings first time ever in my life, i am not sure if this is conclusive or not. So i went to see a psychologist. She said i don't have asperger. But the test i had gone through with that psycholoist was much shallow and irrelevant than http://www.rdos.net. For instance, there're many questions about drugs and addictions i think it's more for teenager. At the end she said i was just being 'cocky' (excessively proud of oneself) which i never was (and even so, a psychologist shouldn't say things like that).
And when i asked about 'mild asperger' she even didn't know how to answer my question. At the end she charged me about USD180 instead of the original assessment of USD700.
I think the resource and reserach for adult asperger is quite limited. People only focus on kids symptons of AS. I suppose Adult aspie are very very different from kids or teenage aspie because they have learnt the coping skills.
I was very disappointed and left no where with the psychologist despite the money and time (2 hours) spent. What do you guys think? Do you think the rdos test is conclusive or do you know any more scientific test for adults AS?

no the online test isn't conclusive. With adults it is tough because, after a time we tend to hide symptoms out of shear self defense :-)

Taken from a collection of tests on WrongPlanet, these are what let me determine that I nearly certainly had Aspergers or Autism based just on a self-diagnosis before being diagnosed by a psychologist. They really helped.
http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt113459.html
However, I am only 19 years of age, and...
Aspie Score: 190.
NT: 13.
All of my results on those tests left little room for a non-autistic possibility. You're much more balanced than I am, and probably more mature, so it would be harder to pin down. But from what I've been seeing, most people who are honestly very certain that they are Aspergers and have read hundreds of webpages of information on the subject with obsessive passion, they are likely to be part of this weird minority. c:

It isn't 100% conclusive, but if you've answered honestly, and I assume you have, one can pretty much believe the outcome of the test.

I'm finding it hard to get information on adult women with Aspergers. And this was the best test I have found, but I think it may be more directed towards male symptoms (hunting, etc)
My Aspie score is 118/200
Neurotypical score 88/200
But I believe it may have been quite different (higher Aspie) had I taken it early in my life. Being 51, I have learned to adjust to many uncomfortable social norms. But I can remember being much more "weird" as a child and being teased a lot for it.
I'm currently in an relationship crisis which I can't figure out...And one of the biggest issues I am having is that I don't "miss" my significant other or anyone else really when I am separated from them. I don't think I'm a sociopath, so maybe, just maybe it's Aspie.
Any thoughts?

Hi, can someone please help me interpret this? My psychologists (who I see for my OCD) think I have Asperger's, but I really don't think I do, and the test results would seem to agree that I'm NT. It's really worrying me, though since:
a) I may have Asperger's
or
b) I'm correct in thinking that I clearly don't, and my psychologists have no clue what they're on about, therefore may not be the best people to treat my OCD

Amphy, there is no need to worry either way. Yes, things like OCD can appear as comorbids with Asperger's BUT many neurotypicals have that condition also.
To be sure one way or another you'd need extensive testing, which if you have no reason for it (school, work, etc. requires it), it can be expensive and you do go through a lot for the result.
I only recently got the group transferred to me, so my apologies for my late answer.

I have never been diagnosed with Aspergers. But what lead me to learning about it was I have a cousin that has been diagnosed with it, and we share many of the same traits. I went to google to find out why I can't separate sounds and Aspergers came up and that's when I really started researching it.
If I had taken this quiz when I was younger, about say 5 years ago it probably would have been a higher score. But I started attending and working at places that have forced me to interact with others, I'm more okay with touch thanks to my last job. (And awesomely understanding friends that resulted from working there. ^.^)

Because it is a spectrum, we all have different strengths and weaknesses: I have a slightly high spike in social and communication portion because of my "practice" for the past 50 years.

Hi I'm new to all of this. I posted on the other board and figured it wouldn't hurt to post here as well.
I've been curious if I were an Aspie or not. I think I've learned to mimic a lot of social behaviors. Here's my score and I'll try to post the pic. It doesn't mean anything to me, just kind of explains my eccentricities. I seem to get by well and mainly suffer from social anxiety and/or depression. Learned how to cope and I get by.

Chakrakhan, social anxiety goes with the territory. One thing is certain, those with Asperger's Syndrome can NOT be put in a box, or under ONE description: Autism is a spectrum, as Temple Grandin says, from those with minds like Einstein all the way to the other end, where there is no verbal communication at all. No one is "Like" anyone else, thus the reason for using a spectrum.

My first cousin being the first born son on my fathers only brother has been diagnosed with autism. I share many if not all personality traits with him and i am also the first and oldest son/child. His and my siblings are all normal and usually ask us why we act or behave a certain way? He has an answer I do not. This would explain my unusually development with computers and electronics. Is there a way to find a legit diagnosis without my parents?

I am not sure. I know that diagnosis is easier in the younger formative years: I didn't get one until I was 50, and the tests and things you have to go through for that are as outlandish as the costs for waiting.

It must also be mentioned that an IQ test measures something that we ourselves do not seem to understand, intelligence.

Actually, to be honest, IQ doesn't necessarily "intelligence" so much as it measures "certain" abilities based on one's environment. If you ever have the chance, take the IQ test that doesn't lean towards middle class America, and is more suited for those in poorer sections....it will be an eye opener I assure you.

Hi nnewhouse: My son was diagnosed as Aspie at the age of 45 but we already knew without the official diagnosis. ( I used to say "he's a bit of an odd bod") In fact we only got tested to satisfy a beaurocratic situation. Remember that , just like neurotypical's, Aspie's are on a spectrum. If you have no need for an official diagnosis, then dont. If you need a diagnosis to help with your social welfare of work situation, then do. The general story with Aspie's is that the IQ. is higher than the norm but the social skills are often "akward or missing" and with time they learn to adapt and become more socially aware. May I suggest than you read up everything about it to get a good overview. My best wishes to you.
NOTE: Two tests would never be administered without a gap of 12 months or more because of "practise" and memory corrupting the scores.

When I was working in sole charge jobs, I just went ahead and did things.
Working as part of a team, never allowed me to fully use my abilities.
But, non-Aspies spent days planning a project, in committees, months discussing a project.
I am TOLD that Aspies don't argue, they just go ahead and built.
But, I think its better to consider one of the other traits of an Aspie in relation to your question.
Aspies don't have hidden agendas, so when discussing a project, they don't have other motivation or agendas, that would delay things, or force invalid compromises onto the project.
BUT hey, I am still learning too.
Hey, have you had another face transplant?

On the picture the only difference on the labelling is Activity opposes Social.
Aspies think digital, they want it exact, that is Activity
Neurotypical think analogue, for them, its maybe, almost, just, and that is Social.
Aspies just DO IT.
Non-Aspies talk about it first.
I believe the name Neurotypical was invented, just to confuse non-Aspies into believing that THEY are different.

The test only works as well as you want it to work. I believe it is very possible to manipulate the resulting picture, I have only done the test once, while doing it, I was unaware of how the end results would be presented. But as well as giving you a test result, its the questions and your personal answers that tell you what you are. In other words, you are exercising your right to make a informed decision about yourself, rather than relying on other people, whom might have different motivation and agenda. But few if any will want to post their answers, so the picture is a safe graphical way of displaying your answers without risking you personal privacy.
