Hi! My name is Tony, I'm 20 and live in Cardiff (Wales). I was recently diagnosed with dyspraxia, which explains some, but not all, of my problems. Then I...
New member here too! if u want to find out about my experiences with being dx with AS then just email me (too long to explain in email and not too much...
-- ... not ... Hi Tony, It is a relief when you finally find out what has been wrong with you for ever. My son was diagnosed earlier this year and although my ...
I am Neil Burrows from Bedfordshire, UK (in between Bedford and Luton) - I have been diagnosed with AS last year, at the CLASS clinic in Cambridge, and will...
Hi everyone-----am very pleased to see that we have so many new members, as it has taken a long time for this group to get going. I have now updated my...
Sounds like a good name for a song (or something like it). OK, I shouldn't be here. I've not be diagnosed with AS. However, part of me thinks I should be. Part...
Jonathan: Only you can decide whether or not you want to go for a diagnosis. I chose to, and even though I was quite sure I had AS, I was still devastated when...
Hi Jonathan I'm not a diagnosed Aspie either. But I'm quite sure I have Aspergers (actually I get various Aspergers help even without the proper diagnosis - ...
Sorry, didn't catch all of that - can you repeat it? ;-) I think that's what they call a "full" reply. Thanks. I took that test, and got 41. But, as I was...

Hi all! Nice to see the group expanding. Just want to say that I've finally got round to going to my GP to get a referral, so in a few weeks' time I should...
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aqtest.html I've just done this test and got 40 (more than 32 = strong possibility of AS), although I wasn't too...
I've done it 3 times now. First time 41, then 29 then 25. I've never looked at the scoring system, so I'm not deliberately choosing answers to 'get me off'....
Actually, there's another point. I'm sure the test says "80% of people with Autism disorders scored over 32". That's a huge difference from "80% of people who...
... By answering all the questions different to how I usually behave I just scored 2, the only two I scored on was the one about being a diplomat (I think...
Thanks for including the explanation. I actually thought I'd got the joke (sort of), but when I saw the explanation I realised I'd got it totally wrong. This...
Jonathan's note hit home with me, particularly the part about distrusting organizations and disrespecting authority. (I think, these days, what Americans...
I have a problem with this. Not the joke - but the assertion that it would be difficult for AS types. My understanding is that there is a tendency to take...
... I see what you mean. But naturally if someone said they give a child a jigsaw common sense should tell you it's a puzzle jigsaw not the power tool ...
OK, looking at the post history there's not a lot happened here. I'd be very interested if anyone could recommend anywhere else I can probe people on this...
I heard an interesting thing the other day, about an Aspie in a restaurant. The lady in question ordered a meal, which her dining partner knew she didn't like....
OK, big issue, lots of theories. AS tends to run in families, so I am told. If any of you have read "Life and How To Survive It" you'll also appreciate that...
Hi Jon, some very interesting points there. I've also never been sure when it's appropriate to buy a round, but I've noticed that most people wait till their...
Most of my grandparents were gonners before I was old enough to know what they were like. I never even met my peternal grandfather. Both my parents were loners...
Hi I am new to this group and was diagnosed with AS in october this year. I am 29 F from UK and i am looking to communicate and maybe meet people from the UK...
Hi, and welcome. I've searched around for a chat room and got nowhere too. I guess we could set up our own 'chat' by exchanging chat ID's if enough of us are...
I think to set up a chat room would be a great idea! There is someone in yahoo that opens one but its hardly ever open which is no good to the people whom are...
Hello! I'm new around here, and have been reading the past posts. I have a simple question: is there any recognised symbol for AS? (lapel pin, ribbon, graphic...
... Hi Welcome silver_birch_0 The National Autistic Society in Great Britain have just adopted Thomas the Tank Engine as there symbol, as they've found that...
