If you are an adult and have been thru school, I would think this would have been caught by now.

Asperger's however, is showing up in adults who are missed during school.

There is an online test for this but it is not foolproof and if you think you have Asperger's the best thing to do is consult a therapist and be evaluated. High functioning autistics may also not be IDed in schools.

Here is the link.

Answer quickly and don't try to "guess" a correct answer. Be as honest and spontaneous as you can.

no online test is going to give you even a clue if you have autism of not. The ONLY way you will know is if you talk to a doctor, and go to a psychologist to get evaluated

The online test wont even give you a clue when it comes to something as complicated as autism
