How does someone go through life without knowing that they may have an autism spectrum disorder?
Like Aspergers syndrome? I have been trying to find out the cause of my major anxiety and depression for about 5 years now and I have just recently been diagnosed as bipolar, I also am OCD and ADD, and my meds have not been very effective at treating anything. I stumbled across the " Aspie" or aspergers quiz online and took it and it said that I was most likely an " Aspie" . I know that these things cant be used to diagnose but are they fairly accurate when tested against people who actually do have aspergers? Should I bring this up to my psychiatrist to pursue it further? If there's anything to it then It would explain a lot of things but I cant understand how I wouldn't know sooner, Is it common for people to go undiagnosed for decades like this? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Here are my scores on the quizzes.Your Aspie score 177 of 200Your neurotypical non autistic score 44 of 20You are very likely an Aspierdos.net eng poly12c.php?p1 90& p2 97& p3 95& p4 76& p5 88& p6 90& p7 79& p8 73& p9 69& p10 77& p11 89& p12 68 img The other quiz I took my score was 45, and it says that anything over 34 is an " extreme" score.psychcentral.com quizzes autism.htmThank you very much.BTW, My anxiety depression has been a huge problem all of my life, I just started going to the doctor for it about 5 years ago.
Advice needed Regarding a adult getting a diagnosis for autism spectrum?
I wonder if any one can give me some advice. I have asked this question once and only got stupid insulting answers. Please serious proper advice only. I am 29 now and all my life I have had problems and have been different to other people. According to my parents I was a very quiet baby and didn't make any sounds or speak my first words until after I was 3 , I could never make friend and always liked to be on my own and play on my own, through out my whole time at both primary and secondary school I never had any friend even now I don't have any friends. I have had aggression problems, I would have a lot of out bursts and would often hit my parents. I have always found social situations extremely hard, and find it hard being around crowds and where there is lots of people, I find it hard to make eye contact with people & am sensitive to loud noises. I hate fire works because of the loud bangs they make and am terrified of balloons in case they burst. I have always lived with it and tried to get on. My parents never got me help or any thing they are the kind of people who would never want to admit that there was any thing wrong with there child, but just over 6 years ago after I got married And had my first son, He had problems similar and was eventually Diagnose with asperg syndrome. When my son was diagnose with Asperg syndrome it was the first Time I had heard of it and autism. I did a lot of research on the internet, and the more I read the more I realised that perhaps I had this condition & it suddenly made every thing that had happened in my life and the way I am make Sense. I want to try get a proper diagnosis, to give me peace of mind & to help me under stand why im like I am and to help my family and others understand. I also hope by getting a diagnosis it will help me get help. My aggression is still bad and I attack and hit my husband often when I have out bursts. I don't like hurting my husband and would desperately like help to try and get help to control my aggression and violence. Also I now have 3 children my youngest is 1 year old, I would love to take her to play Group but can't as I find it to hard.Can any one tell me how I go about getting a diagnosis of autism or asperg syndrome and what the diagnosis process involves.I was going to go to my doctors try and get him to refer me to get a diagnosis. Is this the best way forward. Also my doctors surgery is slightly strange they have open surgery in the mornings when you don't need a appointment but are rushed through or appointment in the afternoon, but it is nearly impossible to get a appointment in the afternoon. If I went to see the doctor in the morning I would not have time to explain every thing and would be rushed through. I was thinking of writing a long letter to my doctor explaining every thing and asking him if he can refer me. And dropping the letter in to the surgery would this be a good way to go about it or do I really need to see him face to face.I am sorry this is so longany advice would be much appreciatedthanks in advance
Do I have some sort of brain condition (on the autism spectrum?)?
Hello,I'm a pretty normal guy who empathizes with people. I think most people who know me would think I'm a fairly kind, friendly person. I can interact with people normally, be friendly, smile, and chat. This is how I like to be Sometimes, however, I feel like there is a wall between myself and other people. This happens particularly in the morning, or if I sleep too much. I feel sort of like I'm disjointed from the entire outside world. My movements become much more deliberate and I feel like I have to think about them more. I feel like my speech becomes much more deliberate, slower, pronounced less clearly and perhaps less articulate.This comes and goes on a fairly daily basis. I've been dealing with it my whole life, but have been used to it. I tend to withdraw when I feel this way, which is a shame because I know that I can be very personable.I don't think it's social anxiety I'm not anxious around other people or nervous at all, it just becomes impossible to interact on the same level that I could normally.I feel like it is a brain chemistry issue or something, because I can tell exactly when it's happening and when it isn't. I have autism in my family my sister is autistic and I think that my father may be toward that end of the spectrum himself.But like I said, this feeling comes and goes for me.Any ideas as to what it might be? I plan to be seen by a psychologist soon.Also, I don't think that it's depression. I guess I don't know for sure, but I exercise regularly and am a happy enough dude.Thank you Ms. Rose
Do you think things like autism spectrum and OCD could be...?
simply remnants of neanderthal genes resurfacing in subtle or partial ways and not genetic defects? Because it's not like down's syndrome, which really is a defect which is accompanied by physical symptoms and stuff. I also find it interesting how a lot of autistic people tend to be like really big and thick boned.There have been a lot of studies which have shed light onto the fact that neanderthals and cro magnons intermixed a little bit. Since neanderthals had more repetitive behaviors and couldn't do things differently it makes sense that neanderthal genes could be responsible for something like OCD which doesn't really have treatment that can help it, because it's not really a defect, just a gene which produces different behavior. I didn't say it was proof and I'm not trying to prove anything, I just wondered if anyone had ever thought of that possibility. I have a cousin who was born severly autistic, but otherwise not much else in our family. He got good help because his family is very rich, so he's almost like normal when I see him, he has a facebook and everything. I just was watching a documentary on evolution and i couldn't help but notice that the neaderthals acted kinda autistic lol. OCD seems like an autistic type thing to me but maybe not.
