As someone who believes they likely have AS, but as of yet undiagnosed, I'm trying to find a good doctor for a diagnosis. It's been a burning question of 'Have I or not?!' for a while now, and I'd like to finally get an answer.

However, my search hasn't really given me much information on who I should see specifically, so I'm wondering if anyone here has had good experiences - or bad experiences too... it would tell me who to avoid... - with doctors that they can recommond or not recommend.

I live on Brisbane's southside in Australia, by the way. Any locals have any luck??

Australia?


Son, half of the WP locals are aussie. Remember, it is part of Australia's secret world domination plan.

In all seriousness, I don't think that you will have much of a problem finding a doctor/local to help you.

Good luck, Mr. Aussie.

Isn't Tony Attwood located near Brisbane???

(Whoever you find, make sure it is someone VERY experienced with ADULT Aspies. Ask this to make sure. And if they are not quite so experienced with the adult age range, find someone else. This was a mistake I made and have now rectified.)
