    Autistic traits?

    Zoe, it's confusing isn't it? I don't know why they don't just clarify it. Judge, I was going to ask my psychiatrist, but I didn't know how to bring it up, so I went for a second opinion from a psychologist. It said she specialized in ASDs so I thought it would be okay.

    Autistic traits?

    I'd like to know... First I got diagnosed with NVLD, then I got told it was "high functioning autistic traits". When I went for the assessment, I didn't talk too loud, get preoccupied with parts of an object, and my eye contact wasn't completely terrible, so I didn't qualify for the full...

    Full psych evaluation results.

    I think in the DSM 5, it is possible to have ASD and a Schizophrenia/psychotic spectrum disorder. But this psychologist used the DSM IV, so that might be why. I've been taking antipsychotics since age 16, when I first learned not everyone was seeing and hearing the things I was. I get...

    Full psych evaluation results.

    I have hallucinations and delusions. Mostly a cat I named Bob when I was a little. And another cat named Sig, a shadow named Stan, the shadows, the bugs, and the guinea pigs Wilber and Wilfred. I also think people are reading my mind or are after me, that I can fly, that my meds have cameras in...

    Full psych evaluation results.

    I got my full psych evaluation test results back. They said I no longer meet criteria for Nonverbal Learning Disorder, but still meet criteria for a learning disability in math. As far as the diagnosis, she said I did meet some criteria for autism, but not a few, and because I met criteria for...

    Aspergers and Fear

    ^^That When I was around your daughter's age, I started feeling like everyone was watching me too. And following me. But I have Schizoaffective disorder as well, so I can be a paranoid wreck off meds. It could just be anxiety, or the fact that some Aspies just don't like to look others in the...

    Testing for an ASD...?

    Thank you... Yes, I am very, very poor at math. Actually, that is a lie. I get mixed results. When I try to do mental math, I can't do it. That's what got me on the psych-ed testing. When I took college level math in grade 9 and 10, the minimum requirement for my college program, I got 100% on...

    Testing for an ASD...?

    I've tried the RAADS-R online and got 187.0. I also tried the Aspie quiz and got.... Your Aspie score: 149 of 200 Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 51 of 200 You are very likely an Aspie I just need the official, formal diagnosis to get services in school.

    Testing for an ASD...?

    I will ask :) I've read that there are a lot of people that believe NVLD is on the spectrum as well.

    Testing for an ASD...?

    I know one of my previous psychiatrists specialized in ASDs, but I guess not in females, because she didn't want to "waste her time" doing an assessment. The psychologist I was looking in to specializes in ASDs as well, it doesn't say what gender she specializes in.

    Testing for an ASD...?

    Thank you :) Yeah, but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do, sometimes.

    Testing for an ASD...?

    Yes, I am female. I don't have insurance, so I think I will have to suck it up and pay for it. When I looked online, there didn't seem to be any adult autism centres around here, just private psychologists that specialized in it. Sorry, I didn't mention my Schizoaffective is the Bipolar subtype...

    Testing for an ASD...?

    Ahh.. Makes sense. I've never studied philosophy, although I remember it being an option in high school. I chose psychology, instead.

    Testing for an ASD...?

    I called a few days ago and inquired about the testing, and they said the Autism test would be two hours long and cost $300. It's the psych-ed that's going to be very expensive... It requires three, two hour appointments. As well as an appointment to discuss all the results. I don't have...
