Introduction

Aspergers is a condition which exists on the autistic spectrum.

You can find out a lot about the clinical definitions of aspergers from the wikipedia article but if you're interested in the human side of things and how it feels, you might want to read through my aspergers blog.

The clinical defintions of aspergers are linked below.

Do You Have Aspergers?

Short of seeing a psychiatric doctor, there's no easy way to be sure.  There are however, a some quizzes which have popped up on the internet. These are based on the DSM IV criteria and I've found them to be pretty accurate.  Personally, I feel that the RDOS quiz is the best one.  You can read my results in these quizzes here.
