Diagnosing Autism
Can I tell if I have Asperger's or autism, without a doctor diagnosed me?
I know I do 'm not normal …
As undir said, You can read many things about her. I spent over a thousand hours of playback autism spectrum disorders. Based on what I read, I'm damn sure I have Asperger's. Most physicians and psychologists lack sufficient training to diagnose autism spectrum disorders, particularly soft things, like Asperger's in adults. Yes, physicians and psychologists spend years studying, but these years, they generally spend very little time on the SAT. And if they graduated before 1994 and Asperger's was not even in the DSM for the moment. So you have to find a doctor who specializes in HFA / Asperger 's adults. And even then, it might be difficult to be diagnosed as ASD are developmental disorders, and they wanted to talk to your parents, who may be deceased or uncooperative, or whatever. And it would cost you a lot of silver. Generally, for the reason money, I have not been to a specialist yet (except that it serves no purpose other than to confirm my opinion or tell me I am wrong – it's not like there is a treatment or almost). I think that self-diagnosis is fairly reliable, if you've spent much time studying TSA – not just one or two books (And seriously, you kind of need to either have an obsessive-compulsive disorder or ASD to be able to spend over a thousand hours of reading about TSA …). My parents are in agreement that I have Asperger's, and my younger brother was diagnosed Official PDD-NOS – I had several socio-emotional psychological assessments as a kid too, but that was before anyone had heard of Asperger syndrome. I bet if I was in primary school now, I was diagnosed very well, because TSA is in "these days. autistic people tend to have difficulty seeing an" image "and of being too literal, which can make difficult to self-diagnose, so it's something you should keep in mind. But when you read things about autism and you keep shaking his head at every little thing, then yes, you are probably autistic. But it must have significant symptoms in all the categories involved in autism – not just some minor social problems or something. Also, if you're autistic, you'd probably hate uncertainty which comes from a self-assessment – so you might want to get an official diagnosis just for this reason (I seriously think the money to blow a specialist because of this, although I know I could spend the money so much better).
