Thank you, she seems quite sensible which is a lot more than many psychiatrists. The Rdos quiz/test can be found here, it's not great but does produce a chart and a PDF with a detailed explanation of your results The AQ Test can be found here. This one was created by a psychologist at the Cambridge Autism Research Centre, so it's more accurate. I had a 2 hour chat with them about it yesterday and they are getting an assessment for diagnosis planned.

Thank you for the reply Lyndalou, they have told me that there would be a different way of approaching CBT and general Psychotherapy for someone who has the condition which is the main reason they are keen. But at the same time I do understand what you are saying, appreciate the reply.

Hello, I'm a 25 year old male and I am pretty sure I have Asperger's. I found it hard to fit in at school and have never enjoyed social occasions. Obviously I know these are two of the most common things people see but there is a lot more. I have been diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Depression, OCD and Cluster B Personality Traits most similar to BPD. My psychiatrist also thinks Aspergers is very likely as 14 medications and 2 years of weekly therapy haven't done anything, as well as other things. She asked me to have a look online at reputible sources (she provided a list) and to see what I think about it. I took the AQ Test everyday over the period of a week to make sure the psychiatric conditions didn't have any effect on the results, the lowest score I managed on that test was 41 and the highest of 43. I also took the Rdos Aspie Quiz. Whilst I know neither of those are strictly professional tests, I do find it interesting. I have been lurking around this forum for quite some time and found everyone to be very knowledgeable and friendly so thought I would join to say hello and write the above. Here is the chart provided by the Rdos test.
