Aspergers?

My doctor wants me to be screened for aspergers. Does anyone know what they do to "test" you? I heard it can take up to 4 weeks. So what if I have aspergers, there really isn't anything you can do for it. There is no pill you can pop for it, correct?

Correct, allthough Asperger's is not a disease. It impairs you social skills, but on the other hand, people with Asperger's usually have good systematic skills, and many also have good visual skills.

I got my diagnosis after an agreement between a psychiatrist and my therapist.

I warn you that it can be hard to tell the difference between lifelong SAD and Asperger's. So be cautious!
