Generally the Quacks is first port of call and they should refer you on i say should!

My area has an Adult services which has an Autism part so got referred to them.

For myself I asked for a referral from my GP. I went armed with a list of Asperger’s traits and examples of when I do these myself. I was lucky and my GP referred me to a specialists unit 30 miles away who do adult diagnosis.

In the U.S. see a Psychiatrist who's familiar with AS.

Good Luck and Good Health.

Just be aware that Aspergers is no longer an "Official" diagnosis, it is now classed under Autistic Spectrum Disorder. If you're in the UK then the National Autistic Society may be able to advise you.

And like others say, you need to go to your GP and be referred to a specialist. You can't just see a psychiatrist unless you pay to go privately.

In the US the Autism Society may be able to advise you

And if you can pay, (or your medical insurance covers it), you can see a psychiatrist.

Get your Dr to refer you.. It may takes a while like it did me.. I was dignoized after 18 months. I had about 7 appointments in that time.. Good luckxx
