I am serious about getting tested for Aspergers syndrome - General

i scored a 22... I suppose that's good.

I got a 12 Does that mean I'm not special? :saddowns:

I got 20, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!?!?!

I got 19 on the arbitrary number generator

Thread scared me to take the test, got a 21. Hah I'm normal suck it OP

i always read it as ass burgers :downs:

I got a 14 in the test, I'm normaler than most normal people here which is funny because I was officially diagnosed with aspergers when I was really little

[QUOTE=Hendo;20736072]i always read it as ass burgers :downs:[/QUOTE] You should probably take a speech test as well then, since P and B are completely different letters.

I got 41.

I got a 42 on my test.

I got 23.

[quote][B]I am serious[/B][/quote] Well then apparently you don't have aspergers, then.

[QUOTE=tison345;20724529]hey that means you're autistic and not a special snowflake like you wanted to be fuck you and everyone who has "asperger's"[/QUOTE] Fuck you too.

I got 15 on that test thingy. What does that mean? Oh, nevermind. Apparently I am slightly lower than the average control group..

Huh. Made this thread a couple of months ago now. Well I can't be bothered with a diagnosis even if I do have it, it's not worth the effort because I wouldn't want any treatment anyway. I agree with DaveP on the whole internet and video games thing. I think it affects a lot of people. I think intraversion is the most likely thing here still.

I got 16.

[QUOTE=Eluveitie;20739220]There's treatment for it?!?! I've never had it.[/QUOTE] There's like counciling stuff where they help you to learn how to interact properly, read facial expression better and understand voice tone. There are also some meds which fuck up your behaviour in some way, I forget exactly what they do but they are supposed to help. I wouldn't use anything like that though.

I took the test and got a score of 11. As for aspergers, it's a bullshit diagnosis. You're just antisocial, and need to get out more.

[QUOTE=MakeR;20739484]For some people it is a [b]irrational fear[/b] to socialise.[/QUOTE] I'd say i was pretty antisocial back when i was around 12-13. I was a chubby little basementdweller that dreaded social situations because it meant i had to keep conversations going and so on. I grew way out of it though, now i'm pretty much friends with everyone and out partying and socializing every weekend. Facing your fear of socializing is the best thing that could happen to you.

[QUOTE=Eluveitie;20739793]You're just fucking ignorant.[/QUOTE] No, you're scared of getting out there and aqquiring some god damn social skills. Want to hide behind a diagnosis and die lonely? Fine, that's your desicion. Just don't spread your idiocy.

There are measurable differences in brain activity in aspergers and autism sufferers.

It's kind of funny, actually. I have aspergers but I am actually very good socially.

[QUOTE=Jallen;20740299]You really are an idiot. You are arguing against the opinion of medical experts from across the globe.

[QUOTE=Theater;20740420]There's also a measurable difference in brain activity in people with differing behavioural patterns.[/QUOTE] I'm going to assume you've never met anyone with aspergers or ADHD. If you had you wouldn't be arguing that aspergers is inexistant. It's an ASD - autism spectrum disorder. It works like autism and it is noticeable from tests. If you don't believe that autism exists then you are the stupidest person on the planet.

I've also known several people with "aspbergers", most of which are normal, well adjusted people.

I'm thinking about getting tested for Asp-(mumble mumble mumble)

[QUOTE=Theater;20739476]I took the test and got a score of 11. As for aspergers, it's a bullshit diagnosis. You're just antisocial, and need to get out more.[/QUOTE] I understand your point, but I disagree with how you presented it. If you personally do not have the issue you're blowing off then it is quite easy to tell a person to "get over" his/her problem. Going from a lonely fat kid to a frequent party guy is a cool story and all, but that is just you. You [b]grew out[/b] of it. All youths have peculiar quirks, but most of theses things phase out as they mature. A problem becomes a disorder when it does not go away. I'm not saying Aspergers Syndrome is 100% legitimate. I simply believe an antisocial dysfunction shouldn't be blown off with "you're just antisocial, and need to get out more". Get off your pedestal and try to understand that everybody is different in terms of mental structure. -Minor note: I'm not supporting the use of aspergers syndrome as a free ticket for doing nothing.
