I've long suspected that I have asperger's and I told my psychiatrist about it so she referred me to this other place where I can take some behavioral tests. Apparently it's covered under insurance.
wish me luck
theyre probably just mad you wont graduate college. and theyre trying to get you locked up.
are tendies part of the test
whats the result then
what got you to believe you have asperger's if not too much

just behavioral characteristics i've noticed about myself
I avoid minor changes in my life, and actively resist them. I've gotten so many new clothes for Christmas over the years that I've never once because wardrobe changes kind of fall under that. I wear a variation of the same thing every day.
I have a lot of trouble making conversation with people I don't know very well or at all. It's not that I'm too anxious to talk, it's that literally nothing enters my brain to talk about. I can't even fake it. So often people assume I'm anti-social and douchey on first impression because of that.
When not paying attention, I avoid looking people in the eye when talking to them. I've noticed that I'm able to focus much better when I look away from a person while talking to them.
Those are the major reasons that I know are often tied to Asperger's, and it's enough to make me wonder.

reading this now i wonder if i have asperger's lol
but i realize it's my overwhelming anxiety that makes me avoid new changes, and contact with people when i actually would like to change things up. though i have been wearing dark clothes since like 2012 and barely anything new, but i prob just am picky as hell
anyway interesting reasons, hope it all goes well-
Thanks. It'll go well no matter the outcome, I'd just like to know, you know? Like, no matter what the diagnosis is, if there even is one, that doesn't actually change anything about me. It just puts a name to how I am, and helps me to better understand myself. hocuspocus;

im slpy

ah it all makes sense now
My friend just went through those tests. Some of them take hours to do. What ever the results you seem pretty high functioning. :3 lol
in all seriousness mental doctys seem to do this shit on the reg tho, u might be fine. when i was seeing a therapist i like barely mentioned my inability to focus (which i thought stemmed from being depressed and therefore disinterested more than anything) and he asked me like 5 times if i wanted to get tested for ADHD explaining the symptoms and what medication could do for me and yadda yadda
i was like naw i think i just need to feel better about myself
as a real adult he mighta been right tho lol
Probs just wants to make more money
The tests are covered by my insurance. Honestly my therapist didn't even bring it up; I mentioned to her that I've suspected for a long time that this might be the case and she referred me somewhere.
I still haven't set up the appointment because I hate calling people on the phone girl;

this only very superficially sounds like autism
a lot of these apply to me
[spoiler=...wait a minute][/spoiler]
see tec
that's my exact line of thinking
lol
but it really does only superficially sound like autism
i agree with mib's assessment:

you seriously don't strike me as autistic at all, and a lot of what you describe applies to almost every boyager
i guess it's possible we're all autists
but in truth, it sounds much more like social anxiety, whose symptoms can sometimes mirror those of mild-moderate autism on the surface
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_anxiety_disorder#Signs_and_symptoms
compare:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism#Characteristics
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome#Characteristics
do you have any of that "repetitive" behavior under the list of autism/assburgers characteristics (repetitive enough to be detrimental to daily life)
in any case you should still get tested and get actual autism ruled out, good luck lol

can anything be done if u guys have autism? like would u have to take meds? or do u just live w/ the knowledge of being autist
medicine does its best to manage rather than cure autism (which is incurable) using a variety of methods

ADD for certain, and I've also been convinced forever that I have a sleep disorder
Also when I get really upset, it becomes physically/psychologically difficult for me to speak
not sure where that fits into all this but there you go

Scores in the 26-32 range indicate some Autistic traits (Aspergers Syndrome).

Idk some of the questions seem silly because sometimes I would agree but sometimes i would disagree.
I think my hatred of idle chitchat and small talk with strangers put me high. Also I answered that I notice patterns but I would assume most people who pay attention to things would too. It's kind of dumb that it basically says you're autistic if youre smart or not completely extroverted
I looked up aspergers and it really doesn't fit me at all
36/50 lmao
