Aspergers/Autism & Bipolarity...

[HavocXphere]

Hi guys, sorry to necro this thread,

Having a bit of an issue understanding if i do or dont got it;(aspeger)

Its not like that. People speak of being on the spectrum ranging from very functional to the point that the blend in easily to the opposite end of ...well not blending in.

As for being afraid of a shrink - there is little risk of it having consequences like that. They're bound by confidentiality anyway so unless you tell them you're a danger to someone or yourself they can't disclose afaik.

If an employer wants to check out your psychological stage they'll do their own testing, not go after external shrinks docs. And very few jobs require professional psych screening. So rather think about what's best for you not the job side.

Never belived i have aspie, reserched a bit and im not one, pretty sure of it,
Any online tests that are quite accurate?

Maybe when i was younger i showed a bit of it, but i grew up like everybody else, and never belived in any of this cr@p,

How did you guys both find out? Did somebody point it out or did a doctor diagnose it?

I don't beleive in online tests

Well I always believed I was different and weird and never was accepted anywhere and wondered why until I read about Autism and Aspergers, I then spoke to my Psychologist and he said I should go to a Psychiatrist for an evaluation and she confirmed I had it.

After I had a diagnosis it made life way easier and I could get along better in life as I learnt some life skills.
