I don't trust self diagnosis in the slightest. It's like horoscopes - you can easily twist your mind into applying these things to you and before you know it you got another person running around blaming all their problems on something that other people genuinely have to cope with.

Though to be fair, in my opinion, in the ideal circumstances it shouldn't even matter if someone's got a disorder of this nature. Two of my closest friends have been diagnosed with Aspergers and I wouldn't have known had they not told me, but I don't care either because however it's affected them they've found a way to cope. Obviously for medical purposes it should be accounted for, but I feel like punching someone who makes a big deal out of a disorder that doesn't actually bother the person who has it.

I also live with a guy who uses autism as an excuse to be a dick. I have issues with that.

Have never taken any of these actual tests for anything myself. Don't know how effective they are.
