Your Aspie score: 156 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 38 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie.
i broke down in tears when i was reading about the symptoms and now i know why my life has turned out like it has, im a freak
somethings my wife said to me yesterday made me realise how im not normal at all and a quick google search revealed i probably have aspergers symdrone.
shes gone to find out about getting a divorce because "im not normal" i feel so fucked and dont know what to do with my self, i feel like suicide but im to scared.
atleast i realise why im the way i am but i dont think i should tell her.
looking back over my life nearly everything has started to make sense after finding out what the general symptons of aspergers are
"Aspie"? I think you'll find most people with low-grade autism or Asperger's Syndrome would find the term as offensive as if you called someone with a strong mental handicap a "spastic", IMO. I hate the term aspie.
As for the meat of your post, this being NFOhump and all I'm not sure whether to take it seriously -- but if you really do feel that way, you need to see a doctor and not some bullshit "internet test" that is about as a reliable as a chocolate fire-guard. If your wife is threatening to divorce you because you're "different" - and again, NFOhump, then perhaps there's something else afoot? I recommend seeing a marriage counsellor as well.
Marriage should have to be full of support and understanding, no?
That's why I don't believe in that stupid piece of paper... If you truly love each other you don't need others approval (I guess it's because of laws and taxes and shit like that)...

thats true you know. newton didnt discover gravity. the apple told him about it, and then he killed it. the core was never found.
its not just the test i was reading on all the aspergers sites about all of the symptoms and i can relate to just about every one of them so im confident im not jumping to conclusions,
they say many people are happy with self diagnosis but alot of people seek a profesional diagnosis for better understanding from those who know you.
i think i will visit my gp with a list of why i believe i have aspergers and see if i can get a referal to someone who can diagnose aspergers syndrone in adults.
if i show my wife all the aspergers info she would understand me alot better but i think it would just be a burden for her and she might feel like she has to stay with me when she doesnt want to.
My first impression was that you were joking but I guess not.
I did that test and got the same result as dezztroy.
Having had some more experience with tests like these I can tell that the questions were a bit mixed.
Some indicate autism, others ADD/ADHD, OCD or just plain high sensitivity.
Anyway there is a bit of autism in every man and Asperger syndrome is a milder form of autism.
Your life did turn out well snoop1050?
Got married, got a job, perhaps things did not always go as easy in life as you wanted it.
But yeah like sabin1981 said, go see a professional.
I saw things like that in here and in other "woman problems" topics so...... Am I the only one that thinks some authorities needs to be alerted about Saner and him possibly being a rapist and/or kidnapper ?
Saner is not being serious. Unless its the subject of Santa!
Reached question 50, firefox crashed. And some of the questions sound like if they were taken directly out of a bad cliche book about people with social insecurities.
See a doctor and get treatment. Things will probably be difficult in the first year. The good news is it does work in the long run, as long as you set your mind to it.
PS I think 'fucked in the head' is an exaggeration. A lot of great scientists had some kind of disorder along the lines of autism. I guess most brilliant people are a little crazy

Don't self-diagnose based on an internet test and what you read on some forum. Get an appointment for evaluation and diagnosis as well as advice and council. Second-guessing yourself will only make you feel worse!
I think I'm bipolar as I suffer from terrible mood swings. However I am quite capable of not doing anything stupid whenever I feel like tearing some idiot a new asshole. Mostly because I am a skinny, and very weak 140lbs man.
But still, the important thing is restraint. And not trusting these net exams too much. I mean the last net exam I took told me that I was quite the excellent lover. I dunno about that though, I mean suffering from premature ejaculation isn't a trait you'd find in an excellent lover is it?
Edit:
Of course if that exam just put in 'Do you suffer from premature ejaculation?' in it, then I guess it'd have solved that issue.
i liked how one of the earlier questions was 'do you have trouble filling out forms'.. i selected no/never... 3 or 4 more questions down, i decided to scroll to the bottom... 150 questions... fuck that, closed the page
138, nothing I didn't already know though. I've had my aspergers diagnosis for a while, it's really not the end of the world. Even if your wife leaves you and then gets custody of your child due to the diagnosis.

I guess that's right: beware of the Quacks called dr. Google and nurse Wikipedia!
