Er, I dont know if I should be coming out of the closet here, but I have Aspergers. I have a diagnosis. From my discovery, a diagnosis is not really useful unless you are unable to work and need to access social services. Otherwise you are just paying $X00 to sit across from some patronising psych person who will later use the money for their golf membership, or overseas travel fund.
Some people get a diagnosis out of curiosity, which is fine, but I never seeked one for that reason, as it was pretty obvious to me as several family members also have it.
If you want to find out more about Aspergers, a good way to go is read online blogs by people with Aspergers and see if anyone writes stuff you can relate to. Also you could try joining as AS group in your area if you want to meet people with AS.
