After watching this video on YouTube of a girl with Asperger's syndrome, I think I have it too... I relate to her so much: Take the Asperger's syndrome Test HERE!! My Results: * 76/100 You scored 35 on points, higher than 76% of your peers. Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge's Autism Research Centre have created the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, or AQ, as a measure of the extent of autistic traits in adults. In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4. Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher. The test is not a means for making a diagnosis, however, and many who score above 32 and even meet the diagnostic criteria for mild autism or Asperger's report no difficulty functioning in their everyday lives. You scored 32 or above. Do with that what you will. Understanding Autism - Asperger's syndrome |

Autism is something youre born with so they are right when they say no matter what you get on the test you can never have it. |

That is not completely true: 1. Autism generally does not show up in children until their early toddler years, 2 - 3 2. While there is strong evidence that Autism has a genetic connection, that is not completely proven. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_autism 3. There are cases where adults having acquire the measles and the mumps at the same time developing Adult Onset Autism As for Apergers. That is a more recent diagnosis (1994 became official), and there are now tons of adults who when they were young might of been diagnosed with it. Instead they were labeled as weird. |

Autism comes under the umbrella of PDD (Pervasive Development Disorder), within that there are 5 subtypes: 1. Autism 2. Rhett's Syndrome 3. Childhood Disintegrative Disorder 4. Aspergers 5. PDD-NOS (NOS - Not Otherwise Specified) PDD-NOS is what persons who have a PDD, but does not fit the other 4 disabilities. For example they might have only 4 of the 6 indicators of Autism and don't fit any of the other diagnosis. So it not actually forms of Autism, but forms of PDD, which is a common mistake. They are finding similar brain chemical issues with PDD, Schizophrenia, and Tourette's Syndrome. |
