Can someone with asperger syndrome become a chiropractor?
Someone with aspergers syndrome can certainly become a chiropractor, provided they can meet the educational criteria (4 years of undergraduate university, 4 years of chiropractic college, pass board exams). That being said, chiropractic is a health care profession that involves alot of one-on-one interaction between a doctor and his/her patient, and communication skills are a big asset. As aspergers syndrome is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, a chiropractor with aspergers syndrome may have a difficult time interacting/communicating with his/her patients, and thus may not be very successful. Thus, although someone with aspergers COULD become a chiropractor, I would suggest that they strongly consider whether or not it is the right career choice for them.

What is the difference between primary diagnosis and provisional diagnosis?
A primary diagnosis is assigned when the presenting problems meet diagnostic criteria. A provisional diagnosis is assigned when the presenting problems meet some of the criteria for a disorder, but more information is required for a diagnosis to be assigned. An individual can be assigned both primary and provisional diagnoses depending on their presentation. For example, the diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder; Cocaine Induced Psychotic Disorder, Onset during Intoxication (provisional), suggests that the client presents with depression and meets the criteria for MDD. In addition, the client appear to be experiencing psychosis as a result of consuming cocaine, however until the effects of cocaine wear off, the clinician does not know if the psychosis is a result of the cocaine, or is present when the substance is not in the body (which then may indicate a psychotic disorder). Therefore a provisional diagnosis is assigned.
How do you recognise Aspergers in adults?
Looking at the diagnostic criteria of Asperger's Syndrome and lists of characteristics commonly found in people with Asperger's Syndrome is a start on recognizing Asperger's Syndrome in adults. However, adults can learn accommodations, so it can be harder to recognize. You can get additional information from family who might be aware of childhood characteristics or of adult idiosyncracies that would not be noticed under most circumstances. One more source of information is the person himself or herself, who might share thoughts and feelings that he or she is able to camouflage in most situations.

Was diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder but counselor asked if ever checked 4 Asbergers Syndrome bc was very developmentally delayed I couldn't even tie my shoes til 14yrs old How wld I know 4 sure?
If you had developmental delays then you would have been diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder under the old diagnostic criteria - Asperger Syndrome doesn't have developmental delays, this is the only distinction between Autism Spectrum Disorder and Asperger Syndrome diagnosis - as it is Asperger Syndrome is no longer recognized by the DSM as a diagnosis. Someone should give you an assessment for Autism, if your counselor can't do this they can refer you to someone who can - this just involves asking questions about your experiences and how you were when you were younger. It's a good idea for you to learn a little more about Autism yourself.
