I'm trying to head off the panic a little; is there much similarity between the unofficial tests posted above & the one/s I'll take at my appointment today?

I think I only took one:

I know I scored a very Aspie score on it. I know a lot of you. Don't care whether you get a diagnosis, but bc no one knew about AS when I was growing ...

Hi my name is Kerry. I am freaking out right now because I am so alone and I don’t have anyone to turn to. My heart is hurting because I want so badly for Wolf to call me and hug me and let me know he is there. I want to know he is there for me and will not leave me. I need to know that I’m going to be okay.

Hello!

I am 19 years old guy with sexual addiction. I am well aware of this, so I want to quit, I've tried couple times, but always unsuccessful. It's very unpleasant for me as I'm still living with my family and don't want them to realize it, but I think if I share it with somebody it could be helpful.

So my story begins when I was 8 years or something and we were playing ...

Okay, first of all, I know you guys can't give an official diagnosis (We can't get one anyway because nana won't want it or believe it). This is just a confirmation of sorts, I'll like to know in general.
For many years, since I was born and diagnosed with Aspergers, it's been the general belief that my nana on mum's side, suffers from it as well. The fact that AS can be inherited kind of ...

Hi, guys,

Just wanted to share my last improvements with you. I think I finally did it. I managed not to be frightened of anyone's opinion on me. Actually, I noticed that I was always so busy to worry and fear others' reactions, that I never really expressed myself. Now, when I'm in my 30s, I keep asking myself who I am, I want to experience lots of things most of people experience in the ...

Can we rely on professionals and bureaucrats etc. for these alarming figures, when they have so much too gain by increasing the numbers of children with -Autism- and related problems?
-You- will notice that there never seems to be a cure for any major problems only treatment plans that only helps the professionals and bureaucrats etc. that feed off of human beings like parasites the desire for -Hope-... There is hope but we are never ...

The appointment for my diagnostic assessment/test with the neuropsychologist is in the morning. I am really nervous about it, probably because I have such a high anxiety level when i'm being questioned about -anything- that I sometimes can't answer the questions accurately until the doctor/interviewer is no longer looking at me expectantly. I always remember the info on the way home, for example.

The other thing I'm concerned about lately is my son. He turns ...

I am 37. I was diagnosed with about 115 different labels before they decided BPD and Agorophobia fit the best. Who knows if they got it right. I didn't ever do a lot of cutting, but I pull my hair out, I tried suicide a few times and my self abuse history reads like a rock star's bio without the fame, fortune, talent and money to make it more interesting. I've done some really messed ...
