How to make her get diagnosed

My wife experiences long periods of unexplained stress, anxiety, meltdowns, can hurt herself, often misinterprets what is being said (giving words other meanings than they have), always blames someone or something for whatever wrong happens, etc.

I went for a few consulting sessions, each with the same result: I should tell my wife she might have ASD and should get diagnosed.

I told, maybe not the best way, she completely rejects, gets even more anxcious and frustrated. I do not mean anything wrong. I am absolutely convinced a diagnosis or at least a talk with an ASD specialist would help her understand what is going on in her. No way she would go. She admits she has problems but rejects any kind of solution. 

Anyone experienced something like that? Is there a way to make her at least speak to someone, not neccessarily get diagnosed?
