I've read a few posts about other's diagnosis, and mine seemed a bit different.
Basically, I sat in an office for an hour and a half with a Neuropsychologist, and also my Dad, being asked questions from an AQ questionnaire.
One thing that bothered me, is that no environmental factors came into consideration with me. For instance, I am by nature, not a confident person. And I'm certain that it's not due to my AS. I've had a lot of family problems, which has messed me up a lot, and has had a lasting effect on me.
I am also a very controlling person (a control freak!) which is why I like things 'my way' and I have to have everything in order. The happier I am, the more I can 'let go'. I believe I'm so controlling due to the way my parents raised me, controlling and strict. My mother has also been very cold with me all my life, which has made me very insecure and unsure of myself.
I think that my parents wanted me to have AS, so they can blame that for my problems, rather than face up to the way they've treated me.
I do believe I have AS, without a doubt. But it's not that bad, and a lot of my problems are down to emotional problems.
I only had a drawing test to check for brain damage, but that came ok.
I didn't have many of tests I've read about in other's posts.
