Hi,
I've suspected I had Asperger's for the last 12 years or so, but was only recently "officially" diagnosed. As I've started exploring the forums here, I see that lots of people have info in their signatures such as "Aspie score" "neurotypical score" and so forth.

What's all this mean? When I had the final meeting my the neuropsychologist he didn't mention any "scores" just what the diagnosis was and that he'd be sending me a report in 5-8 weeks.

Jeff

i think that very many people on this site are not sure that they have AS, and a subset of those people take online tests and quote their results that they received so as to validate their authenticity as an AS person. i do not identify with anyone i ever spoke to, so i do not have to search for a precedent to indifference.

disinterest is as real as interest in a way.

What is it that people don't get? Do you think anyone is as understood as they would like to be?

They're probably referring to the results from one or more of the tests referenced in this thread:
