    Detour2,

    A couple of additional points to those above. Sometimes the doctor may not give a diagnosis unless they see a need to start some sort of treatment. i.e. if it doesn't need treating then it isn't a disease. Lots of people have autistic traits but don't need a diagnosis. I'm not suggesting that this applies to your individual situation though.

    Have you tried the free online test aspergerstest.net/.../ my guess is that this may confirm your suspicions. If you post the result here then we may be able to give some additional guidance.

    You also have the right to a second opinion - I would wait to see what they say at the next meeting before you go down this track.
