I think i may have asperger's syndrome, it would make a lot of sense and explain lots of things.  But the question is what to do about it?  I feel like i should go to a doctor or something.  Any suggestions?  I'm in the New York area also.
8) Works for me! Hopefully your computer will cooperate better when you get up!
Gwynfryn, the Meyer's list isn't supposed to be all negative! It's been put together with the help of autistic people, so they are just characteristics, and not meant as a value judgment.

And that is the first thing I found a year ago, that got my attention so I continued researching. It's a good first indication of whether you have AS, no matter if you believe it or not.
AMAZING!
That list is chock full of all the things I had never heard mentioned with AS that I thought meant I might not have it...
Im convinced now!
I checked 111/135.  Those points sum up my personality perfectly!
thanks everyone for responding.  i took the 'meyer' test (http://www.geocities.com/petexlnt/meyer.html).  got a 52.  i'm definitely an aspie, and i think that's cool.

it's the combination of points, though.  just like any other characteristics.   it's the synergistic combination.


that's the point, gwynfryn.  i.e., it isn't if you have a few of the characteristics, it's the range of characteristics and the combination which is used in anything in order to "diagnose".  a headache is a headache.  headache + sore throat might be flu.  headache + sore throat + swollen neck + fever + vision problems might be meningitis.  does that explain it better?

It seems as if this confusion over diagnosis is not a really new thing...
