    Apparantly to quite a bit of people on here I am the following:

    Antisocial
    Narcissistic
    Sociopath
    Psychopath

    I don't believe myself to be any. I think there is a chance I am antisocial, but I know I am definetly not the other three.

    None but one of my friends once thought I had Multiple Personality Disorder.

    But we utterly reject that notion.

    In all seriousnes I think he more or less thought that because I keep parts of my Personality hidden at all times. Some parts I show and then I draw those back and reveal other ones.

    I know that I used to have depression and pure o, but officially I'm 'cured'. I do experience some of the symptoms every once in a while though, so I went for the not sure option.

    I was diagnosed with ASPD. Not internet diagnosed, real doctor diagnosed. I don't agree though, ASPD is a little extreme. I was put at 32 of a possible 40 on the checklist. It's fucking stupid, i mean i met a child molester in prison, he was a total creep (not violent but a creep, i mean you have no idea how nervous this guy made me) and he's not ASPD but i am? I get labeled Antisocial for not saying sorry to a guy i assulted, but this guy was in the wrong so why should i? It's crazy that just because you've got no remorse for some jerk that started the fight you must be a sociopath or something. I still lol at it all...

        I have no fucking idea. Doctors fucked up the diagnoses too many times. I was cleared of everything they accused me of. If I have something now I do not know. I can tell you my personality type and I have gotten this result on multiple tests and I think its correct. Apparently Im brilliant but I never thought so. I am the INTJ. If I had to guess myself I would say OCD as a result of being stir-crazy.

        Cheeseman's syndrome. Basically, you sit in a corner with enough cheese to sink a battleship and then you...

        ...sorry, making light of it. Depression. Tested multiple times for autism as well, but always beat that test. Actually, I've never taken an AQ test as an adult. I might go and see if I can find one online. If it comes back as autistic, I'll come back here and mention that too.

          I took the test and I'm a little disturbed by the results.

          -----

          Your score: 41

          0 - 10 = low
          11 - 22 = average (most women score about 15 and most men score about 17)
          23 - 31 = above average
          32 - 50 is very high (most people with Asperger Syndrome or high-functioning autism score about 35)
          50 is maximum

          -----

          It would appear that I'm autistic just because I'm good at spotting patterns and remembering numbers. Stupid fucking test. I can't be autistic. I understand people well enough. This has really got to me.

            that test is about memory and patterns?

            you should be proud, not disturbed :P
            Those same things are tested in many IQ-tests :P

            In my eyes, scoring high makes you smart, not autistic -_-

            As for mental disorder? I'm sure i have issues if you asked some shrink(or whats the slang word for psychiatrist?), but i'm feeling fine.

            I ain't need fixin'.

              Yeah, some of it was. I kind of overreacted because it was saying that if you're good at certain things, you must therefore be diagnosed with a problem.

              Stupidity on my part because I do exceptionally well on IQ tests and yet don't find that offensive. In actuality, I guess I was just shocked to find out how un-average my mind is and for it to be flagged up as a negative thing. :/

              P.S. I posted your story yesterday. It didn't get past moderation, despite people like charli.m posting supportive messages. Least you know it's nothing personal, I suppose, if it didn't get through for me either. Like I said, though, I can be very determined. I'll try again one day. And I'll keep trying. :)

              I hope so. This has really pissed me off. I don't even know why I did it. According to their test, anyone who prefers a museum over a party is somehow autistic. Well pardon fucking me for being curious about the world I live in.

              I'm sure Professor Words, or whoever else came up with this piece of shit, is a real bon vivant, the life and soul of any party he attends, telling hilarious stories where he convinces people they have some kind of mental disability. I bet he'd even nod sagely and pretend to understand my "problem" little realising that he is the problem.

              If he comes to any party of mine, I'll show him what a problem looks like. Not that this would ever happen. Because I don't hold parties. I'm autistic.

              Okay, I'd better get back to drooling in the corner and avoiding eye-contact with people.

            You know those online tests are hardly accurate right? Don't put this label on yourself if you feel it's restricting. There's no need to start doubting your social skills.

            For example, A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with AS by a psychologist. I didn't mind it that much first, I was actually glad since I scored exceptionally well on my IQ test. but my school counselor kept treating me like some full-blown autistic who can't even tie his own shoelaces.

            It was harsh, and for a time, I did start doubting my social skills. But truth is, they weren't that bad, and there are very little things in life you can't work on. I worked on it by going out and talking to a lot of people. At parties, at school, on train rides,...

            I managed to make friends, keep friends and score dates. So even if you do have AS, don't think that it completely ruins your chances of having a normal life. It's likely you have some points you should work on, but everybody has those.

            Plus, it's an online test, they're usually overly simplified.

            1. Do you sometimes need some time on your own?

            a. No, always partying. ALWAYS. I love standing in a crowded place with music so loud I can't hear what stupid thing that mediocre-looking drunk chick is yelling in my ear.

            b. Five minutes to Wapner.

            If you're really curious, go get psychoanalyzed by an actual psychologist. Though I have to warn you: there's a reason why I don't tell people I have AS irl. Asperger's has a really bad reputation.

              Ahh, I know. There's a back-story to this involving friends out in real-life and, although I overreacted, there are reasons why I did. For once, it actually is too difficult to explain because it's a ten year story, but it bothered me quite a lot.

              But thank you. :)

              Yeah, they are. I really let it get to me and I'm surprised I did that. I guess if I start swearing in a post, I'm either rattled or doing it for comic effect. This time was "rattled". I feel a bit weak now, but I guess we all have our moments. :)
