I think I might have aspergers? - aspergers and adulthood
I met an old master, the other day who told me he thinks I might have Asperger's syndrome. I understand that nothing less than a diagnostic test professional, but I had some in the line of "ratings", and everyone says I have it.
My question is even possible to have Asperger's Syndrome are not diagnosed until adulthood? I received a diagnosis of ADHD and bipolar at 14, what could be the problem?
Is this worth investigating? How can my doctor or specialist?

ReplyDeleteMost of us is a self-diagnosis and then find a professional, and I know we can diagnose.

As we age, we can learn to adapt, change and does not mean they still have differences, but often to keep or to learn .. Hide

I think it's probably not diagnosed, because my father was not until the fifties, diagnosed (a few years). Depends on what you do, if at all. They seem confident is good. and if you think you would from the diagnosis and teratment then I say do not go to benefit, but only if you then help you personally. Good luck
