    I think i may have aspergers. I have looked at the symptoms and they seem to match me. Now i have zero confidence, no social skills and have very low self esteem. Is it possible that i may just have the symptoms because of that?

    Also i think i may have covert OCD. Is it possible i have these two things or am i spending to much on the internet labelling myself and turning into a hypocondriac?

    Hi,

    OCD is actually common amongst people with Asperger's Syndrome (like me). It is listed as a secondary symptom. I am a moderator on a different website that has a very good Asperger's forum. There are at least 4 other Irish people there too along with me. Take a look at it and see if you can identify with myself and the other users there.

    Actually, I'll PM the link to you, okay?

    Take care,
    Kevin

    EDIT - Oh, bugger, you aren't a registered user. Ummm, I seriously don't want to give out the link to the website here. Send me an email and I'll send you the link (kevinblighe@yahoo.ie).

    Good luck

    the thing is at one time i was totally convinced i had aspergers but then thought i was spending too long on the intenet analyzing myself. If i know too much about aspergers would that influence my test?

    Every time i go for one of those internet self diagosis things i seem to always comeback negative then i wonder if i am partly influencing myself?

    Is there a physical or blood test that can be done?

    How do i get in touch with a specialist?

    Go to a doctor and stop Googling symptoms, it'll only frighten you.

    I once Googled my symptoms and was told I might have prostate cancer. I'm a girl.
