For a long time, I was convinced that I have Depression or might be bi-polar. I did tons of research on those, and though I'm still sure I have one or the other, I'm placing all my money on Aspergers.<br /><br />I took the quiz you linked and got 174. I have saved a PDF file. From reading your blog posts and several medical publications, I am convinced that I have this condition. <br /><br />I only work part-time retail (which is an extremely grinding work environment for me, but the best I could get in this economy), and I don't have insurance. So I guess until I can put a few paychecks together, I'll be living with a self-diagnosis for a while.<br /><br />But just having a name to go with what I thought was perhaps insanity or the like is wonderful.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your blog. I found you on Google searching for Aspergers! :) If you have any ideas on what kinds of places give diagnoses, please consider making a blog post about that.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />-AudraAudranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841851020927689161.post-51158229742592452582010-03-08T09:36:51.289+11:002010-03-08T09:36:51.289+11:00Hi Tony,

"any three of the following behaviours", etc.<br /><br />I'm not even convinced that the diagnostic criteria is 100% right either. In some ways, the label of aspergers (or autism) is widening to encompass people not previously thought to be on the spectrum.Gavin Bollardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833941398375568706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841851020927689161.post-3553784232910805802010-03-04T15:34:16.140+11:002010-03-04T15:34:16.140+11:00I'm not sure how to interpret the information ...I'm not sure how to interpret the information I'm getting.
