How to diagnose

I am suspicious that I have Asperger's, and have done some online testing. With those, I score very high in the Asperger's category. How viable are these quizzes? I am having trouble finding a psychiatrist who is in my insurance coverage and comfortable with trying to diagnose an adult. I need help PLEASE!!!

Personally, I don't put much faith in on-line testing.  The internet, while wonderful in mant ways, can alos provide people with a great deal of incorrect information.  My question is, why do you think you may have Aspergers?  What behaviors do you engage in that concern you?  More importantly, how much do they interfere with your everyday functioning?  Do you have a job?  Do you have friends?  Are you happy with your social interactions with others?  If you think you have deficits that impede your functioning, ask your doctor his or her opinion.  If the doctor feels you may indeed have Aspergers, ask yoour dotor if there is a social worker or therapist you can talk to, just to find out what resources are available in your area.

Best of luck!
