Autism aspergers screening test Videos

I'm in England & I started to really think I needed to get assessed last summer even though I have thought members of my family have aspergers since 2003, my daughter was diagnosed with autism in 2004 when she was 4, I knew she was autistic but no one took me seriously. I have my assessment in 3 weeks!

Do you live in the U.S? I've been thinking about getting diagnosed myself but I've heard that Aspergers is no longer considered a diagnosis here so I'm not really sure how to go about it in 2014.

I love this I am so happy for you and proud of you for coming out and doing this video!! You sound great and so profoundly open and honest about your experience. You're paving the way for other ladies in your age bracket to have the courage to go through with a diagnosis/self identification. there are hardly any sisters who discover much later, coming out and doing this. thanks for being one of the first

I am afraid that my current psychologist is hesitant with me because she already told me that these things are usually diagnosed in children, but she is starting to consider that I am on the spectrum. Partly because I am being more open about some of the things that I have struggled with and that I am struggling with. Yesterday in session while talking about a job I had been laid off from in 2009 I had to stop because I was just about ready to start sobbing. She asked me what I was feeling at that point and I just said that I felt like crying because I suffered so much in that job by a certain manager. What my psychologist doesn't realize is that I cry very rarely, maybe once every 10 years or more. I will be sure to let her know in my next session. It just seems that since I have been considering that I may be on the autistic spectrum that my 'defenses' seem down and I feel so raw. :-(

great video Sue. thanks for sharing with us. that sounds awful about that aspie-denying doctor...i can't stand Drs like this and sadly, they're rampant. I'm wishing you the very best of luck; sending you love and prayers regarding tomorrow. I'm nervous for you too. i know exactly how this feels..wrenchingly on edge. I haven't been on FB much but I'll be checking to hear from you about your results!

its quite common that children line their toys in a line, but doesn't have to be this at all. They could have repetitive behaviour such as flapping their hands or twitching called mannerisms and also following routines which is comforting to them.

so she is ugly AND retarded?

It was until here recently I never knew there was anything "wrong" with me as society would put it. Now I know I am just different and I am okay with that. :)

describes me. Thanks for the upload
