Question 1

how can i know if i have female aspergers or something else?

Accepted Answer

Psychiatric eval: Asperger's is a clinical diagnosis which depends on mostly history comprising of basically three areas: developmental delays including speech delays, social delays and stereotypic behavior (repetitive). There may be family and other developmental issues of interest. A thorough evaluation should be able to answer this question, talk to your pcp first, if needed a referral to a psychiatrist.

Question 2

i might be suffering from aspergers syndrome. i want to take a test, where can i do this?

Accepted Answer

Psych. Evaluation : A psychiatric evaluation or psychological testing will help diagnose this for you. Good luck, .

Question 3

i scored too low on tests on internet to have aspergers. i was a nevrotypic but no one of my phsyciatist want to test me again. can i grow out of it?

Accepted Answer

It's a continuum: The fact that you feel you have symptoms is where you should focus.  Work on addressing the symptoms rather than applying a label or diagnosis.

Question 4

what should i expect from the test for aspergers syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Depends: There are several screening tests that can be used and they usually involve a series of direct questions to parents and care givers as well as direct interactions and observations of the patient. After the screening is scored the likelihood of the patient having the disorder is determined. The screening may take some time to be scored and is usually done after the patient has left.

Question 5

is there a test for aspergers again at 17?

Accepted Answer

It's moot: If you're familiar with this curious condition, which offers many advantages but can be troublesome, seek testing only if it makes treatment options available. The basis of rx is getting educated on understanding other people, on being a diplomat rather than a jerk (this causes most of the pain). Choose a strength sport over a team-play sport, get speech rx if you need it. Say only nice things.

Question 6

my son has aspergers and has trouble reading social situations, he complains of voices, how can he succeed in school he has very high test scores?

Accepted Answer

Early intervention: The best way to proceed is to find a skilled specialist who can evaluate and refer him for appropriate services.  Social skills are important to address intensively and early, i.e. with group skill training and individual therapy and coaching.  Other associated symptoms may be alleviated with proper medication management as well.  You should look into other resources, e.g. Autism advocacy online.

Question 7

recently did a asd/aspergers screening test on psychcentral and got a score of 46, does this mean a high chance of having it?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Without knowing more information about the test, can't answer. Different tests are scaled differently, so your score's meaning depends on how the test is set up. If there was any kind of a description such as how similar that score is to the average for ASD, that might help. If you are concerned, a clinical psychologist would be most able to help you find out for sure.

Question 8

i took a test for aspergers syndrome and got a aq score of 42. is this significant? should i tell my counselor or psychiatrist?

Accepted Answer

Was it the : Autism spectrum quotient from  aspergertest.Net?   "32-50 indicates a strong likelihood of Asperger syndrome or autism." however, this is a screening test - it doesn't necessarily mean that you have this diagnosis.  It would be good to let both your psychiatrist and counselor know.

Question 9

my counselor is wanting to diagnosis me with autism my old psychologist said i have moderate to high functioning autism like aspergers is there a test?

Accepted Answer

No lab or x-ray test: are used to diagnose Autism Spectrum Disorder, but multiple questionaires have been designed to help assess, and it sounds like your psychologist may already have done this. A screening tool may be found at http://psychcentral.com/quizzes/autism-quiz.htm.  If you want confirmation, seek out a psychologist or developmental physician who has a lot of experience with diagnosing ASD and Aspergers.

Question 10

i'm a 23 year old female with ocd and  aspergers i have previously had 2 stomach ulcers and suffer from heartburn daily could these issues be related?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Patients with ocd and asperger's tend to also have anxiety issues and anxiety can worsen heartburn symptoms.
