I scored a 44 which put me at likely to have ASD which I was aware never been formally tested but my counselor felt I had it. My question would be at age 53 should i get a formal test done or just assume i have it?

Hi Bee24. Welcome to Psych Central. I am not an expert of any kind but I usually ask myself is this condition disrupting my life or is it manageable by lifestyle changes.
Only you can answer that question. A professional could put your mind at ease. Hope you get the support you are looking for. __________________ Super Moderator Community Support Team "Things Take Time" |

Hey Bee24,
It was just last year, I was browsing the internet, and quite accidentally, I ran across an article on Asperger's. I had never heard of such a thing, but recognized it, immediately. They were talking about me, the child, the boy, the man. I took the quiz, and did very well, 43 out of 50. Like you, I realized this later in life, I'm 57 years old. I don't think of it as "having something". It's just who I am, who I've always been, and well, and I'm comfortable with that. I don't feel the need for a formal diagnosis. I have a lifetime of experience, being who I am. This realization, although late, helped put my life in perspective. |
