Do I have asperger syndrome?

Recommended Posts

I am 23

 

My report says i might have aspberger.I kind of wanted a yes you definating have it or no.

 

 

She says that in my speach there was no odd prosody or inflection in my speach but it was rigid which i thought that if you speach isnt odd or formal etc you dont have aspberger.

 

What is odd anyway because i talk fast sometimes not at all is that odd.

 

However she talks about my IQ test showing signs and my love of routines and not understanding meanings like

 

'One Swallow does noes make a summer'

 

 

Whatever you feel i am not offended but what i cant do is ask her for a yes because she coundt do it and said that i would have to go privately cost money i will bever have.

i would have thought you could get a yes or no without having to go privately.

'One swallow does not a summer make'
is phrase which is used when on a hot sunny day you can see these little birds flying in the sky. What the phrase means is do not think that summer has arrived just because on 'one day' you saw the swallows (a bird usually seen in the summer) flying the sky.

 

I do not really think that this was helpful to you at all and given that the person was dealing with someone who might be on the autistic spectrum they should have known better than to use phrases like this.

It's not a commonly used idiom: the wider meaning of the phrase is

This is a useful site for anyone confused by idioms, and the English language in general by the way.

 

Sorry to hear you didn't get a firm answer today, eismith.
