Hi mememe, please use lower case when you type here as it's easier for people to read.
You don't have to worry about your spelling, just try your best.

If people at your school already think that you may have aspergers then they can guide you.
Normally you would have an assessment, someone would talk to you, and your parents about your interests, skills, etc.

Then they would decide if you did have aspergers, or some aspects of it (traits). Then in theory, they would try to help you with whatever you needed in school.

thank for your advice  :smile:

I have another question about the Aspie Quiz.  My score on the "nonverbal IQ test" portion was 10 out of 18.  What does that mean? :?

hi i have looked at thre trait in the officail dignose i think i have most of them

but my parent dont think i aspergers

i dont know what to do

You could wait until you are 16 and see your doctor independently and ask them for advice.

the only problem is that it would mean a miniamal of 3 years to get dignosed as i am 14

Even when you are 16, to get a diagnosis in the UK you usually need input from parents.
As you become an adult they may respect your views more and listen to your feelings about aspergers.
You can hope.

OK, I screwed up the "quote" procedure, but I'm interested Lili about this "research " you reffer to? I couldn't find any information re the "research" that was done; do you have resources denied to me?

I liked the Cambridge autism test by Baron-Cohen at first.  But now, I'm not so sure...

Firstly, I find the trouble with tests in general is in trying to make them fit my lifestyle.  For instance,  the wording "Other people often tell me...".  Erm, no they don't.  I actually don't like being with other people very much.  People don't say I often do this, or often do that.  I live a fairly reclusive life.  Maybe I need to rent a group and ask them to state 'what I often do'...?  Most tests seem guilty of this assumption, as they do in asking about job interviews when not everyone has ever been in an interview scenario.

Okay, I'm nit-picking, so far.  The only big question-mark I have over the Baron-Cohen test in particular is that the score awarded to 'strongly agree' is exactly the same as the score for 'slightly agree'; likewise, the score for 'slightly disagree' is identical to 'strongly disagree'.  I suspect that, in at least a handful of the questions, there should probably be a difference which remains unaccounted for in this test.

For example, the question: "I prefer to do things the same way over and over again" with an answer of 'slightly agree' might or might not indicate an Aspergers trait (it could equally demonstrate a usual NT pattern of behaviour or a simple lack of imagination too), yet someone who 'strongly agrees' shows a more definite positive on this criterion.  I would therefore expect the score for 'strongly agree' to be greater than 'slightly agree', so I'm not sure how accurate this test might be.  

If it is, I'm a 44 out of 50 - even without people 'telling me' what I'm like!  :lol:

I have taken quite a few of these 'online tests' and I tend to score highly in them. That is not really a very reliable indicator for me though because it is not difficult to work out which questions tend more towards 'aspie' traits than others and although I would not consciously 'cheat', there is the possibility of being influenced without realising it. It is also very easy to remember those times when the question does apply, rather than remembering other instances when perhaps they do not apply.

As far as I have been able to tell, especially with the Simon Baron-Cohen test, it is only a screening test and not a diagnostic tool. Screening tests sometimes show up 'false positives', since they are unambiguously looking for something.

I think that the results from all the tests when taken together could indicate something, even if in my case, it is just a personality type or temperament, rather than unequivocal evidence of AS.

I am trying to apply for formal testing and assessment from a London Clinic but I somehow suspect that they will not take me seriously.

Hi, mememe, I have exactly the same problem!  I fit all the criteria, but all I have to do is say, "Autism" or "Asergers" and my parents flip out and refuse to listen!  This is actually the second time I have self-diagnosed myself as aspie, the first time I was twelve and my parents convinced me I was wrong, but now I am sure that I was right.
btw, I am also fourteen.
