My pdoc is a smart guy and one of the rare med docotrs who actually wants to talk for awhile and has known me for a long time. From what I read there is no real test (esp if one is an adult), just symtoms, so my doc would have intereacted with me enough to know. Plus the main symptom with asperger's and other austism spectrum disorders is chronic social difficulties. I'm not sure what kind of doctor would specialize in this in adults. Plus, I wonder if there are other meds (some I haven't tried : )...that might help for this. Asperger's wasn't put in the DSM until 1994. There are probably others on this site with depression and "social phobia" and ocd that really have asperger's.
