Hi 

My name is Amanda and I am 19 years old. I am currently on a waiting list for the autism team to be officially diagnosed - they think I have Aspergers Syndrome. After reading more into Aspergers the more I feel I have it. I have always felt different and struggled with things (yet was unable to put my finger on). As a child I struggled to make friends and maintain eye contact (and still do) as well as other issues, hence I saw psychologists etc. but my parents were reluctant for me to be labelled, hence this is why I believe they never picked up my Aspergers.

    Re-took the Autism Quotient test, I scored 42.

    For the Empathy Quotient, I scored 15. 

    Actually surprised by my scores, I was expecting it to be in the range for Aspergers Syndrome, but not as high for AQ and as low for EQ than I scored- as I thought I was reasonably high functioning.
