my GP sent me straight away to see a specialist who diagnosed me within a couple of hours. I would try another doctor if you're not satisfied.

Most people dont think I or anyone I ever meet have aspergers of whom all had aspergers.
If we aren't the persons they want to make fun of we cant have aspergers
and the experts are lousy cheaters.

They tell me and my friends what we are like or not are like
and what aspergers is.

They are just NT they dont have any capacity of true knowledge whatsoever.
Seriously, what expert in any field have any competence
who doesnt have aspergers?

They got Social Skills with the costumers, alternative intelligence
and POPULAR SCIENCE.

Everyone who doesnt have aspergers can't properly understand aspergers
or anything else for that matter.

GPs probably have a basic understanding of the presentation of your common ASD on average (they do have to attend various seminars for updated information after all), but it's probably not wise to take their opinion as anything solid unless they give you valid reasons for why.

To add:

It's best to show them why you think what you do, with evidence. If you can't talk much, have an advocate do it or write it out (not too much with the writing though in my opinion. Just facts). Probably self-evident, but many people don't question professionals.
