| It's a long story and i'm sorry if there isn't much discussion about this, but i wanted to get this off my mind. But i have a little brother who is much younger then me (he's only 8, i'm in my 20's) and his school requested he be tested. He was diagnosed with autism. My mom wanted me to get tested since she noticed that i had similar behaviors to him when i was a kid. It wasn't an official diagnosis, but they said it's highly likely i'm on the spectrum as well and may have to do a few more tests to be sure. I'm not sure what to think now. I guess i'm surprised nobody really thought to get me tested as a kid. |

| I agree it's strange that adults thought to test your brother but not you, even though your behaviors were similar. I understand that's quite common, however. |

| Well if it makes you feel any better, you're far from the only one. I got diagnosed with Asperger in my 20s. And I even did some tests for autism as a child but guess they never came to a diagnosis for some reason (admittedly those tests were just those one page questionnaires). |

| That's brutal. Maybe i should get tested top |

I guess when i was growing up, Autism wasn't as understood as it is today. That's all i can think of. She didn't think of getting me tested till my brother got suggested to be tested. |

| My coworkers thought I had aspergers. My school gave me a iq test once since I was socially awkward. I did very well, and got promoted to ap classes. |

| That's tuff, but if you were doing fine before, then just keep living life like how you've been doing all this years. |

| So this just means you love kidz bop correct? |
By the way, did you get a response from that questionnaire? |
Milzol said: not yet. now idea what takes them so long. they had told me before that it could take 3 weeks but this is now way more than that. Oh, bummer. I'm not sure why it'd take so long either if it's just a questionnaire. Maybe they have too many patients to analyze or other parallel responsibilities. |

Maybe they have too many patients to analyze or other parallel responsibilities. the quesdtionare was just a small part. the whole thing took 5 hours i think. interview with psychologist and other tests for memory and whatnot I see. So it's more complicated than I thought. They probably have to analyze data and compare to other results from other people. Maybe your result has a particular issue that is more delicate too. |
