| I'm aware of that. And you are insulting all the people here who are diagnosed, and have very good reason to be diagnosed. You are not a doctor, clearly. If there were no such thing as AS or autism then the diagnoses would not exist. Healthy people who have no neurological disorder do not go lookin... |

| I just make a general statement about what I think is the case for many people in these forums but I do not speak about a particular one. I have read a book from Antoine Ouelette (French speaking Quebecese-Canadian, do a Google search for more detail) that was diagnosed Asperger at the age of 47 and... |

| The truth is that the Minds in the eyes test have no relevance for BAP, and might not even have any relevance for ASD either. In the end, what is exactly ASD? Some people may have real and visible troubles (delay in language acquisition, monotone voice). But I believe it is not the case for most pe... |

| I did very good in the test, and my therapist also was very surprised by that. The problem is that in reality noone gives me 5 minutes to look at one expression them, but instead when talking to you one minute you have about 25 expressions that are moving all the time and additional you are suppose... |

| I am wondering if the so-called autistic tests have any kind of reliability. Take the typical question: "I like to do the same thing over and over again". Most people do. Few people change their lifestyle very much. They do the same (or much the same) kind of work for the whole life, eat about the s... |

| Alberta has pretty strict privacy rules.Employers have NO right to access your medical records unless you give them written consent. That's still too much in my opinion. Because the employer can ask you this consent and if you refuse he will consider you have something to hide. In France the employ... |

| The problem is not just the insult. Probably, most of the time the person that make the insult do not truly to say something negative about autistic people. But there is a tendency to use the term autistic as something pejorative. I do not know where but I remember having seen the term autistic (or ... |

| I'm good at that test. I really don't think it's an accurate test for people on the spectrum. Life isn't like those expressions. Most of them are quite exaggerated, the expressions are in B&W on flat paper and real life is a real live face, constantly moving and the expression has to be married... |

| They'll ask you though if you have any condition when you apply for a job -- saying no because you assume the private records won't get out is a no-no. If your employers suspect that you may have something [previously] and weren't honest about it, I'm guessing they can get the courts to release you... |

| I live in Europe. I see many posts (and links on the net) that point an incompatibility between some jobs and having a previous medical record, especially in the USA. In Europe, we seem to be more protected (although in can vary from countries in countries). In Belgium and France, a future employer ... |

| First I present myself. I have not been formally diagnosed but I might be on the spectrum. I am male. I live in Europe and my language is French (so excuse my possible English mistakes). I am born in the early 70's. My father once tell me that when I was very young (2 years old), I had a tendency to... |

| Well thank you for your answers. I must be terribly bad, because even with the multiple choices, even some "obviously" wrong choices are not obvious to me. I was even pleasantly surprised of my 17-18 score because I could see almost nothing at all in these eyes. Now, am I on the spectrum? I don't kn... |

| About me (very briefly): I live in French speaking Europe and my native language is French (so excuse my English mistakes). I might have some form of mild autism: I was a kid in the 70's, as a child I didn't interact with other kids staying almost always alone, had motor mannerisms. The teacher at s... |
