Should I take a new evaluation test?

I took the aspietest on Norwegian. It says im both aspie and nevrotypic. The nevrotypic hunt was over normal. Shoul I take a new test with the phsyciatist?

You should do some research on Aspergers Syndrome, and think about if you find it relatable. Ask close friends and family what they think. Do you think you have changed much sence you were diagnosed? If you are questioning your diagnoses, then you should get re-evaluated, if you want to.

I just took that test and here are the results ..

I took my tests from free online offerings. I made a serious attempt to take them as honestly as I could because it only matters to me. I followed the instructions as well as I could and tried to not inject anything that might be from any internal agenda. I took the tests twice about 4 months apart and got similar results. I consider that sufficiently definitive for me.

My Asperger's Syndrome is from severe trauma when I was an infant. My tests clearly show both the harm done on the Neurotypical side and the consequential result as my brain repaired itself on the Autistic side. The text included with the results of both tests commented on the NT problem and the AS scores. Clearly, this split result is not uncommon.


Whether you or any reader took the definitive tests in a professional environment or, like me, from free offerings, taking another round from free online sources after a substantial delay (so you are not easily recalling the previous set of answers) and being honest with yourself might be a good thing. Each chart can be expected to be slightly different but substantially the same. If the new charts are very different from the originals, then professional attention may be appropriate.
