Psychologist or Psychiatrist?

Hiya,

I'm currently receiving psychological input from CMHT after a year of hospital admissions. 

Last week my psychologist asked me to do two questionnaires to screen me for Aspergers/ High functioning autism after we had spent a few sessions discussing relationships. 

My question is, what happens next? My psychologist has said that if these assessments suggest AS /HFA then we would discuss how I would feel about my parents also filling out a questionnaire (I'm 29).

Will my psychologist then make a diagnosis or will I have to have more tests? Or, is it a psychiatrist who makes the diagnosis.

I am currently diagnoses with having an adjustment disorder... but now my psychiatrist is considering borderline personality disorder. Neither of these fit in my opinion and from what I've read AS explains a lot more for me.

Sorry for rambling I'm just so lost and dissatisfied with life. Just desperate for answers. 

Thanks

Crumbs.
