Depends: Screening tools are, by definition, meant to miss few possible candidates, which means that they often are oversensitive, so pick up people who are just fine as well as those with problems. If you or your child is having chronic, impairing social difficulties and one of the screens seems to suggest asperger's disorder as a possibility, it would not be unreasonable to seek further evaluation.

Aspergers..?.: Anything online for medical diagnosis,can be misleading ,can be helpful,there is a tendency for people to think all the symptoms,are theirs,so,take the screening test,result with caution,and ,when in doubt,always seek a medical consultation .
