hmm, i don't think i can keep arguing with myself over this anymore, so to go for diagnosis or not? I guess regardless of whether this is due to being aspie or some other cause its kind of difficult to function within 'normal society' so whatever it turns out to be-knowing why i don't fit in anywhere can only help make my ride through this world a little smoother.

I am, to say the least, confused. I tried to be honest with my answers, IE. not make a contest out of it and try to reach the higher score, but I ended up with Aspie/NT scores of 181/31. My aspie group scores in the analysis never go below 9, as can be seen in my graph, included below.

That being said, I've met "real" aspies, one of my good friends a few years back was one, and I don't recognize myself in it. OK I like to watch candles burn, have no problem with eating the same meal three weeks in a row and I almost can't push myself to phone strangers, but on the other hand I force myself to go out to see friends, can talk to people while making direct eye contact (that's a learned trick, but it wasn't that difficult), make a stand of getting out of my comfort zone every once in a while (almost improvized backpacker trips in unknown countries on the other side of the world) and am known for my empathy. I don't think that fits the bill.

I'm 40 and obviously, I learned to deal with most of my social akwardness a long time ago. I may have been helped by that giftedness that was diagnosed a couple back (and apparent in that 10/10 in Aspie talent.) Still I don't know what to think: I talked about it with my girlfriend of one year who was relieved because she hadn't dare to tackle the subject but has suspected it for a long time, as well as I talked with my best friends who dismissed it at once. Even a psychiatrist I once met seemed to think that the matter wasn't worth more that a short "Oh no you're not." So what? Is there a condition somewhere that includes all Aspie traits without being it?

Was diagnosed with Adult ADHD a few years ago. Medication helps but there is still an overwhelming part of my personality that affects my day to day life tremendously. After obsessive and extensive online research I found I could identify very well with Aspergers symptoms for adult women. Doing the quiz made me think about things that I actually never considered to be odd or different (although I do feel very different to my peers) Things that were just so simply me that I never considered could form part of a potential Aspergers diagnosis. I found myself answering some of them thinking: "isn't it obvious? Who doesn't think that way?!" However through facebook conversations on chat I started asking these questions to gauge response; normal response.. and found that I am much MORE different than I had ever imagined.

Can anyone else relate to this?

I took the test and it said that I had to many inconsistencies in the controlled questions. I did not receive a score. I'm assuming either a) I'm crazy or b) Just good at everything! =P

I've never been diagnosed as an aspie or smth just because I haven't seen a doctor. Since I always had problems with socializing, I thought maybe I have some psychological problems. I feel depressed for many years already ( and I'm only 21 yrs old). It makes a difficulties in studying and job, bcoz I just can't stand speak in public, chat with strangers, keep an eye contact. It's hard for me to understand people, I don't know when my friends need me, I mean I can't get what I need to do when they're feel bad or what to say. In fact I have just a few friends who can understand why I'm acting like this, with others I have fight a lot. I often make a fool of myself when I don't get jokes or sarcasm. When it comes to romantic relations I prefer to stay a side, bcoz I totally don't understand what all that social signals means and can't "read between the lines".
Well, I don't know have I Asperger's syndrome or not, but I thought, maybe it would be easy for me to know exactly what is wrong with me.

I am very surprised with these results. I'm a 15 year old female with diagnosed depression, trichotillomania and social anxiety. I am suspected to have OCD but have not yet got a formal diagnosis.

Family and friends have said for many years that I am autistic, in a jokey way. It was only until recently that I considered that it may actually be an option.

I apologise constantly to everyone for everything... Aside from the stuff I actually need to apologise with.

I don't really know what to do now, to be honest. In a way I do and don't like living like this, I just assumed I was a bad person or something.

I'm 17 years old, female, and I've had a lot of social problems and odd behaviors for a long time. I was recently diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder. For a long time I thought that my social issues stemmed from being bullied in school, but thinking back to before then, I still had many odd behaviors, like awkward expressions, strange poses and gestures, and most notably, obsessions.
I'm somewhat naturally gifted in music and art, but my grades aside from that are in the good to average range. I get mostly A's and B's, languages and arts being my strongest subjects, science and math being the weakest. I have trouble focusing in classes that involve many powerpoint presentations and lectures, especially when the subject doesn't interest me. I definitely can identify as being someone who learns very easily when the subject interests me, and I am a very difficult student in subjects that I find boring or less than useful.
I think I've learned to mimic the expressions and reactions and other social norms that people follow. It doesn't come naturally to me; as one of the questions asked, I don't like shaking hands with strangers, but I've recognized it as a social norm and I follow it, no matter how much I dislike it. From a young age I've been dancing, singing, and acting; I think that taking part in these activities has taught me and trained me to act in a natural way and to "fake it," as some people have said here. This could possibly explain why my parents never thought to have me tested, even though they were once worried that my brother might have Asperger's.
Again, like others on here I find that social situations that are one on one or in small groups are very stressful for me while performing for a large audience is not a concern. Not sure if this is a natural thing or if I've adapted it after performing for so long.
The thing I identify most with is the interests and obsessions. I easily get obsessed with one or two tv shows or books at a time. I find myself talking about my interests a lot and unable to stop once I've begun. There is no such thing as a casual interest for me; I either dislike something or I become emotionally invested.
Oh, and one more thing: I've always been overly aware of spelling and grammar. I get easily frustrated when people confuse words like "there, their, they're" and "too, to, two."

I know some of my symptoms might just be typical of any teenager. Some also match my social anxiety. What do you think? Could I have Asperger's, or am I just misreading the symptoms of my social phobia? Is it possible that I don't have social phobia at all, and I was misdiagnosed when I really have Asperger's?

Also, I've mentioned my concerns to my parents multiple times. They don't seem to think its a real issue or worth getting tested for. Whatever I have, I've learned to deal with it, so it isn't affecting school or anything, but it is personally important to me to find out for sure whether I have it or not. I feel that it is a part of me, and I'd feel more comfortable by truly knowing myself. How do I convince my parents to let me get tested? I think that it is a very strong possibility that I have Asperger's.

Where do I go, or who do I look for to go get tested?

Really would like some advice on what to do with this information (if anything) and what the chart means with relation to the different aspects. Find it really difficult to interpret stuff like this!

To explain where I'm coming from, I have been struggling with an eating disorder (of various natures) since I was 13/14. I have been getting psychological therapy for this for the past 6 months, a lot of which involves dealing appropriately with emotions, thought diaries etc. Anyways, a lot of my core thoughts and beliefs and my reasons for not wanting to express my internal emotional experiences relate to being different from others. When I tried to analyse these further and look at evidence for/against and talked about some seriously suppressed memories since primary school, it was suggested to me that I might have Asperger's tendencies. This completely freaked me out as I don't like to label myself (didn't like to say about ed for fear of using it as an excuse) and had never thought of myself like this before. Had just thought I was a weirdo/horrible/emotionally stupid. Also, I have worked a lot with children who have severe autism and studied autism on various training courses as a result. Although I need control and routine and feel socially awkward in a lot of situations, I love people and have always been somewhat fascinated by them. I am also quite chatty depending on the situation and have a great imagination. I also find it easy to empathise with basically anyone. That's actually a bit of a problem for me because I can usually look at a situation from a million perspectives!! And am not sure what one is right/what they are actually thinking. Something I struggle with a lot (especially during recovery) is racing thoughts. A lot of the time I can't make sense of my internal world and tend to freak out a bit and go onto "autopilot".

Anyways, sorry for the rant. There are lots of other things lol but realised how long I have been typing for. If anyone makes it through this, WELL DONE :-). And I greatly appreciate any advice (either in analysing the drawing or in general).

Thanks,
x

I'm not sure what to do with this information. I have been in therapy for about three years because of previous problems with social anxiety and reoccurring depression. I think I function much more easily in society than I did previously. I no longer experience horrifying anxiety when interacting with others or care much about what others think of me. However, I do still experience difficulty connecting with others and maintaining lasting friendships; it is extremely frustrating and tends to put me in a depressed state. I just thought that was how life is, but it becoming more apparent to me that people are able to maintain friendships for several years.

I took a look at this blog post http://taniaannmarshall.wordpress.com/2013/03/26/moving-towards-a-female-profile-the-unique-characteristics-abilities-and-talents-of-asperwomen-adult-women-with-asperger-syndrome/ to which another commenter linked and I immediately thought, "Holy shit, this is me!" However, I find it difficult to fathom that such a seemingly small portion of people's brains function this way. Sometimes I feel as though these feelings are just inherent of the human condition. I think, "Shouldn't everyone's brain work this way?"

Would anyone be so kind as to provide some insight? Thank you

Hi, I just made this instructables account after seeing your post here. I did a quick google search for "aspergers test" and ended up here. I see you are very active in terms of answering questions and responding almost immediately to reply posts, so thanks for being an aid do those with aspergers and those who may have aspergers (me).

I'm not sure whether I'm an "aspie" or whether I'm just a socially inept introvert with OCD, ADHD and Depression. Either way, I'm not sure if I should get a professional diagnosis, or just do nothing about it and continue on in life.

I started taking the tests after my family members started to wonder whether my dad has autism because of the way he acts. Being concerned for him, I stumbled upon Aspergers syndrome as most of his symptoms pointed to it. I then realized that a lot of the symptoms also matched mine. Mine could have simply not been detected by my family as I don't interact with them as much as my Dad does (I'm often cooped up in my room).

Again, thanks for this post and your replies.
Sorry if my terminology, statements, or implications came off as offensive. I'm often oblivious to the fact when I say something rude of impolite while talking about sensitive matters such as autism when I don't mean to be.

For the longest time, I thought that the way my brain works is identical to the way all other peoples' brains work. I've always had problems in terms of fitting in socially and have gone through many cycles of friends. I only began to consider the possibility that I had asperger's when my friend commented on my collection of containers, jars and the like, the immaculate organization of my desktop and hard drives, and my inability to remember the facial expression of a person I had just talked to.

I'm very concerned with as to what to do at this point. I'm not exactly sure who I should go to for help. My father is often times in denial about anything that he may perceive as negative and has denied the possibility of my having asperger's. My mother also doesn't believe I have asperger's and thinks I'm simply socially awkward. I really don't know what to do or where to go for a professional diagnosis.

These are my 10 year old son's results ... the questions relating to sexual preferences were not taken into account though he does have borderline obsession with a girl nearly 3 years his senior!

The reason I asked him to fill out the questionnaire is because I was called into the school today to discuss a diagnosis of ADHD/Aspergers made by a Paediatrician with whom he met for an hour. The ADHD diagnosis is laughable as my son has the ability to focus for hours and hours on end though he has more energy than the Energiser bunny... now here's the confusing part, he's also highly gifted. So he shares traits with Aspies already. His issues are mainly social though he plays team sports successfully and is highly physically adept. The only times he has a problem with team sports is when they change is position. He doesn't like change and never has. It's impossible to prepare someone every time for every possible outcome. I believe the rules associated with sport help him cope. Socially, he doesn't get it and we deal with issues he has as and when they arise so it's both situational and prescriptive. His lessons (aside from academia) have never been easy as it's just not innate. Part of me says to hell with it, he's a 2E kid and yeah I'll sign the form so you can get your funding. The other part tells me that he already feels odd comparatively as school comes easy to him. The primary markers of Aspie are: social awkwardness/phobia, sensitivity to loud sounds ... or anyone singing as well as sensitivity to clothing (I've been cutting tags off clothing since he was a toddler and he cannot stand the seams on socks), an inability to understand that what he is saying/doing could be construed as incredibly rude/blunt/inappropriate along with intense reactions to all manner of things. Is it possible that he's just a socially inept kid who is gifted given his scores above? As an aside, his sense of humour is second to none and quite advanced and he uses and recognises figurative language regularly. He also understands irony and rhetoric.

I am a male 21 years old. I always knew that something was wrong with me. I have social phobia, with symptoms of cold sweat, palpitations in crowded place like a cafe and my hands are shaking. I hate participating in social situations like going to clubs and so on, by finding excuses. I prefer to take a calm bike ride or jogging on my own, rather than going to a cafe. Therefore I've lost all of my friends. But It doesn't make me sad, it's just annoying that some people are not smart enough to see "deeply" in a situation, and therefore judging like a 7-yeard old kid at my opinion. And of course, with most people you just can't talk about these things, unless you are talking to a family member, or with a friend, which is proven to be real and understanding.
When I am anxious in a social situation, although I try to maintain eye contact, sometimes this visual contact distracts me and I forgot what people were saying to me. I can also have some serious troubles talking in these situations, with a result to speak my native language like a foreigner (especially with some people I don't speak often). I can read very well and write perfectly and correctly with no mistakes.
I also face trouble in people's directions. I tend to ask them for 2nd or 3rd time the directions, so I can be 100% sure of what I heard because a mistake can totally devastate me. Especially if the directions are simple for most people.
I also have "auditory dyslexia". I am not sure about this term, but although I can hear very well (even the cat's footsteps !) sometimes I can't understand what people say. These people think that I am either stupid or have some serious issues with my ears.

I am studying nursing, and I'am worried about my future. Maybe it's not the ideal profession for a guy with a potential asperger syndrome, but curiously, It's not a serious issue for me to get in contact with unknown people (patients) unlike known, which make me feel uncomfortable interacting with them. Although I am very good at computers, I didn't choose them to make it a job.

I'm a 16 year old female. I've always kind of suspected that I may be an aspie because I noticed some of the behaviors. For example, I do have obsessive tendencies when it comes to my interests. I've spent countless hours looking up information on anything I'm the least bit interested in and quickly dismiss other things. It asked if I get fixated on potential love interests which made me laugh because I've only really had one crush and it's been since I was about 6. I also have a tendency to become frustrated when things go out of order, like when my table at the cafeteria is taken or when someone sits in my favorite seat. I hate keeping eye contact, I don't know what it is but looking in someones eyes is far to personal, I think is about the best word. I have to take moments to evaluate what I'm saying to ensure it sounds the best. I correct people constantly, partly because I assume they want to be as accurate as possible like I do. I want to eventually be evaluated by an actual medical professional but my mother kind of dismisses my claims.

16 year old female, I have been previously diagnosed with IBS, ADD (which is now ADHD, however I prefer ADD as I've never been hyperactive) Social Anxiety, and Cyclothymia (mild bi-polar type mental illness). Someone close to me suggested I research Aspergers, so I've been reading about it. Anyways, I took this test as honestly as I could, but it placed me a lot higher (closer to aspergers) than the other online tests available (most said I was borderline).

Everyone else seems to be posting a blurb about themselves so I think I'll try to write one too. Friendship for me doesn't usually occur unless I am forced to spend time with someone. I am never the first to initiate contact, however I can become attached to someone quickly if we share a common interest. I can usually keep friends for a long time, I don't spend any time with them outside of school though. When I get in a fight with a friend I always feel confused and end up apologizing right away. I can't stand it when strangers touch me, good intentions or not. In my classes I usually sit alone, which I do not mind at all. My Grades in school are all over the place, I go through a good year-bad year cycle, although my grades very rarely drop below C+. In classes I enjoy (Art, Textiles, English, Science) I can easily get 95+% However if one thing confuses me I will be unable to continue and usually give up. I reaaallly enjoy reading, Fiction and Non-fiction are equally interesting to me. I find myself relating to many of the things people are saying in the comments, however I don't want to self-diagnose yet, as I didn't score too high on other tests, and my doctors/psychiatrists have never mentioned it before either.

I also scored a 42 on the AQ test. I am 37 and have never been tested or diagnosed with anything other than depression, anxiety and gerd coupled with IBS, but I am beginning to get better on a GF diet. Reading so many of the comments below has enormously encouraged me that there may be a reason I feel I don't fit in and don't understand the way people respond to me and I to them. I have so many of the same behaviours and problems that others have talked about. Similarly to other comments I feel like I "act" to get myself through social situations. I am about to move to Denmark but I hope to be able to see someone there (if I can manage that I do have a problem with seeing doctors) for a possible diagnosis. It would be a relief to put a name to how I feel.

What scores would be considered 'normal' ?

I'm a 44 bloke. I'm a programmer. For a while now I've thought that issues in my life might be because of something diagnosable. Recently I had a reaction to knocking over a cup of coffee that result in me freaking out and banging my head against a cupboard (that hurt somewhat!). That was the catalyst to finally getting a Doctors appointment...I didn't even make that appointment myself :P

I went along, told the doctor many things, which includes:

* I was bullied at school - I've always assume that much of my social interaction issues is paranoia from having been picked on a lot at school.

* I have few friends, and have lost a good number of friends over the years from arguments or simply neglecting to initiate contact myself - I currently only have 2 friends I see or speak to on a weekly basis.

* I still live with my parents - I don't feel I can survive in a house on my own. Plus I spend all my savings on computers, cars, photography gear and music gear. I always assumed I'd meet someone...

* I can't read the opposite sex - I see interest where there is none. In the past when someone came onto me, I'd freeze with uncertainty. In hindsight, I know of a few missed opportunities where I only realised after (perhaps sometime after) that someone was coming on to me. One of those I only worked out more than a year later when she told me "you had your opportunity" :o

* Frustration and anxiety can lead to tantrums and anger - I feel it coming sometimes, mostly because I cant beat a boss on a game, get some tech working or work out how to debug a bit of code. I will start blaming myself for being stupid. I will start banging mice on the table, get to the verge of breaking things, and more recently, start hitting my head with my hands/fists. I can get a depression that lasts for several days after more major incidents.

* Certain noises can add to the frustration - people chewing, slurping or sniffing loudly winds me up. I get a fight/flight feeling running though my legs and back. If I'm working, I can find it suddenly very hard to concentrate on my current coding problem, I'll jam my fingers in my ears. Sometimes I get logical, and put my headphones on (I get the best noise isolation set I can buy). Sometimes I'm in a team environment and can't do that. I also have a bit of tinitus, so I don't always like to wear headphones anyway.

* Eye contact is a conscious thing - I have to remind myself to make eye contact sometimes. I don't always find it hard to do, but I do remember having to learn it as a skill in my late teens. I distinctly remember a training course I took in my late teens that mentioned looking at the bridge of peoples noses instead of their eyes. If I find a conversation hard going, either confrontational or because I'm trying to explain something that is a little more complex or out of my comfort zone, I'll find eye contact is distracting.

* I can't get the words out - I'll find that sometimes I just can't get the words out that are in my head. I'll mix words up, I'll stutter, I'll then panic and make it worse! This generally happens when I'm trying to explain something complex, or in a small group of people.

* Unfamilar people scare me - I find it hard to initiate dialog with someone I don't know, be it in person, on the phone or even via email. I need someone to kickstart the conversation with me, so I can then make that connection to the new person. Once I start becoming familiar with them, I find it easier...but even so, I sometimes find it hard to spontaneously ring one of my friends. This can be a real issue when working on a customer site.

* If going somewhere new, I need a plan - I won't just jump in the car and go. I need to know where I'm going, who I'm meeting with, where I'm going to park (I'll obsess about where to park the car), what time I should leave etc.

* I hate Bars and clubs, and busy lifts (elevators) and trains - I hate travelling at rush hour on public transport. If I have to go to london, I'd pay for a 1st class ticket, or travel off peak. I'll not use the tube in rush hour, but get a taxi. I used to try and use the tube, but all those people bumping into me, and the heat and the noise, just made me want to fly away. In fact one time I did, I stormed out of the station...elbowing my way, treading of feet...I had to get out. Then I walked all the way from Embankment to the city. Busy bars or nightclubs could do the same. If I went when I was younger, I'd like to stake out a spot..and never move. I'd give other people my money when it was my round, and send them to the bar :P


* I'm very easily distracted - I can even drift out of a 1-1 conversation with my own thoughts. I'll sometime annoy people tapping out the rythm to a song I heard, or the peice of music I'm currently learning.

My GP asked what I thought it may be, what diagnosable condition. I said I'd looked at Bi-Polar disorder, and perhaps Asbergers, but that sounded silly! He suggested that I should talk to a specialist on adult social behavoir issues and would have a think about how best proceed. A week later he calls me and says he wants to refer me to a Asbergers and Autism place.

And then I did the research on Asbergers I should have done when I first made a fleeting connection. Because a lot of these issues I'm having seem to "fit".

However I don't necessarily have every symptom, though I understand its a spectrum of possible things.

I think its clear I need to be assessed. At the moment I'm waiting for the referral. I think that there is a possibility that I'm "fitting" myself into the spectrum (so to speak), in order to have a quantifyable reason for being who I am.

What ever the outcome though, the whole process is confusing. Whilst who I am won't change, they way I perceive myself compared to everyone else may change profoundly. And that is deeply distracting at the moment.


Cheers (this was somewhat theraputic!)

I certainly feel like I'm faking it! I guess I'm just surprised that apparently I'm faking it so well. My husband had no idea that I get through social situations by drawing on sets of learned acceptable behaviours and responses appropriate to each situation. Even then I get comments from people that I'm 'nice but strange'.


I can't afford testing but being an Aspie would certainly explain a lot. I'm unable to tolerate certain sounds (chewing and swallowing sounds, for example, and rhythmic tapping) and I feel very anxious when something familiar changes. The website for our local cinema was redesigned the other day and it took me a couple of days to be able to face trying to navigate through the new layout. I was a clumsy kid and still get bruises that I can't recall the cause of. My friends at school were almost all boys because they made more sense than the girls. I can remember my mother saying that I never wanted to be cuddled when I was little, and even now if I'm going to be touched it has to be on my terms. It's something my children have had to adapt to - I'm sure they think it's normal for mothers to tell them to go away when she's had enough of their company :P

I dont know how to post this.... it says 154 but i think its only because im a musician... my friend told me to do this test.. it is interesting

I read the book "look me in the eye" and it was the first time I heard about Aspergers, and I related with the author in many things. After feeling that I might have some aspergian traits, I started asking questions about things I cant see for myself. And did this test, my aspie score is 142/200 NT score 65/200 very likely an Aspie. Even with this score, not ONE single person believes I could have asperger's because I have learned to fake it so well. Im cute so its easy for others to get over my "nice but weird personality" and keep in touch even when I dont care much about anyone. I feel that being an Aspie and not knowing it, has caused me to lose myself. I used to constantly try to please people and try changing my ways because I wanted to feel normal and be like everyone else. But liking myself and being ok with setting my boundaries has allowed to to meet the people that will take me for who/how I am.

To be honest I'm surprised there isn't a bigger gap between my Aspie and NT scores.

You seem to have both Aspie and neurotypical traits

hi peeps, for as long as I can remember, I have known that i have a 'wiring fault' of some sort and for at least the last 20 years, I have suspected (when I say 'suspected, I I mean that I have suspected it in much the same way that I suspect that the sun will rise tomorrow morning!) that it was Aspergers syndrome. Yesterday I took the test and my scores revealed me to be 18/200 neurotypical and 188/200 Aspie. I chose to look elsewhere as well and took the 'Baren-Cohen test' as well and scored 45 (a score of between 26 and 32 is considered borderline aspergers on this test). Recent events in my life assure me that I need to know now. What should i do next? Can my GP make a definitive diagnossis? I live in the UK and I am a 42 year old Male by the way.
P.S. ... Some of the questions in your test immediately made me sure that you knew that of which you asked, for instance " Do you look for patterns in things?" ... My immediate subconcious response??? "How can one NOT??????"

I can't seem to post the picture. Can you please let me know how?

I am a 43 year old woman and think I have Asperger's. I have suspected that I have Aspergers for years and have only now taken this test. Any positive comments welcome on my test results....???

Thanks

You are very likely an Aspie

I dont know whether I should believe this or not. I answer the questions as honestly as possible but how do I know if I am right with my answers? How do I know I am being honest? Is there a full proof way of finding out. This was the only way to show my results.

I have a Aspie score of 120 of 200 and a neurotypical score of 111 of 200, so I seem to have both traits...what does that actually mean?

Do my results below mean I definately have Asperger's? How accurate are these tests and are there any other tests? Should I go to my GP for a diagnosis? Please help. Thanks :O)

I'm neurotypical, but had borderline traits as a child. I came from a family that was not very demonstrative emotionally, and so I was a late bloomer. However, with several extended members of my family who have been diagnosed as having ASD, I felt that it was important to test myself.

I'm only 16. How indicative is this that I may or may not have Aspergers? I find it extremely difficult to relate to people, can't read emotions and have developed a claustrophobic response to crowds of people, but not just small spaces.
