I was diagnosed with autism at a young age, and then later with high-functioning autism (sort of in between aspergers and autism), so I'm going to do that quiz out of curiosity. I'll post later with the result, but for now I'll do my best to answer your question. What is a diagnosis going to help you with? That's a good question. It's largely dependent on whether or not you are even having any sort of trouble that could be related to aspergers. I mean, are you? I can honestly say that if I was never diagnosed with autism from a young age, I would not be the functioning and almost able-mind person I am today. I was a mess. I could not cope with anything. I couldn't cope with social situations; I couldn't cope with my anxiety. To put it bluntly, I couldn't function properly in a society. I would have never been able to pass high-school and go to uni. I wouldn't even be able to get a job. I would have no friends. I wouldn't be able to date. I'm certain it would have lead to depression and suicide. So for me, it did help. It explained not just to myself, but also to others, why I was the way I was.
I'm not doing a very good job at explaining myself, so I'll cut it as short as possible. I'm a little confused as to what you mean by "not very treatable". Yes, it's not something that can be removed through surgery if that's what you mean, and in fact it's doubtful it can be removed at all. But it's definitely manageable, and that's the whole idea of being diagnosed. Because we (myself; doctors; my family) knew what was "wrong" with me, we could take the effort to manage and improve it. So, instead of freaking out and shutting down every time I get a little bit stressed, I can cope with it. That's just one example.
So, OP, what problems are YOU having? It seems obvious to me that you must be having some kind of problem if you are even considering being diagnosed. Do you ever have difficulty understanding people? Can you read emotions? etc etc. Really, being diagnosed with aspergers will simply help you understand yourself better, and then you can take the steps you need to manage it.

Facebook is down right now, and I don't know what to do with my life anymore. Anyone else having this issue? ;_;
How about we wait for something that's not off screen, pre-alpha footage.
Its in alpha and they plan on releasing it this year?! Pfft, knowing Nintendo the release date is a lie and it will be delayed.
And as any Bethesda game shows, side missions aren't always great content. Be careful what you wish and get hyped for.
Pretty much. Most of it's going to be filler, calling it now!
Smash Bros biggest problem is that it does not have regioning. It keeps pairing me with Mexicans, Australians, and Europeans. I get those much more often than people in the same region as me (US West Coast).
Oh God...
@ttualumni13:
You’re right. Sales have no correlation with quality whatsoever. I mean just look at the best-selling games on N64 for example. They were all garbage: Goldeneye, Super Smash Bros, Ocarina of Time, Mario.
Similarly the Twilight Sage made in box office:
- $402,976,678 from the first movie.
- $686,862,566 from the second movie
- $699,590,681 from the third movie
- $709,938,657 from the fourth movie
- $832,660,037 from the fifth movie
You mean downloading on the internet (even loading a damn page is downloading) actually takes up bandwidth?! Who da thunk it? :P
Some of you are morons! Twilight Princess is the best Zelda ever made. It’s like a Zelda hybrid. It incorporates all of the good aspects and improves upon the bad.
1. You can use your sword while riding Epona. (Sorry Ocarina of Time)
2. It has the darkest themed storyline. (Sorry Majoras Mask)
3. Cave of Ordeals is better than Savage Labyrinth. (Sorry Wind Waker)
4. It was the first Zelda with motion controls. (Sorry Skyward Sword)
Midna is the best sidekick in the series too.
Morons? Come off it. Just because they don't have the same tastes as you, doesn't mean they are morons.
1) Yes, having this feature was better then the lack of it, but even so it felt awkward and wasn't very enjoyable imo.
2) Darkest storyline? Sorry to bust your chops, but as someone above me already said, you need to go back and play Majora's Mask again. Majora's Mask was definitely darker. But since when did darker necessarily mean better?
3) Okay? Good for it, I guess? It's a minor, optional part of the game.
4) First doesn't mean better. Ocarina of Time was the first 3D Zelda game, but you are, in fact, arguing that Twilight Princess is better despite that. The motion controls in Twilight Princess were tacked on. The game was designed with the gamecube controller in mind and it shows.
5) Can't argue with that. Midna, unlike Navi, was an actual *character* with raw emotions.
Anyway, none of these points you mention objectively tell me why Twilight Princess is the best game. You have just given a random list of reasons you personally like it, but these are highly subjective points, and they don't cover the full scope of the series. It's fine to have an opinion, but don't call other's morons if they disagree with you.
