Suspected Aspergers at 43

Hello my friend beleives I have aspergers as i struggle to have a conversation, sometimes dont understand humour and find it hard to concentrate on one thing at a time. Can anyone relate to this? I did a basic online test which was indicative that I have it. I am too far away from my gp to go and see him so I need some online assistance

I bought a book called the complete guide to aspergers but I cant be arsed to read it

Can anyone suggest a solution?

I can relate to your mentioned symptoms. I was diagnosed with Asperger's (now called ASD) a few months back at the grand old age of 45. I went the private route for a diagnosis. It might be your best bet in the current climate, but it will likely cost you in the region of £1000.

I found these tests useful in coming to a decision about getting a diagnosis. Good luck, let us know how you get on!
