I am a 21 year old female with undiagnosed AS. I need to find either a support group for adult Aspergers or a doctor who specializes in adult AS in Colorado, preferably near Denver. I am having a lot of trouble finding someone and am getting desperate, so any information is welcome.

Meetup.com Asperger's search in 80204 zip code

I remember being 21 and living downtown Denver. Wish someone had told me about AS :-) Crazy times.

Thanks everyone. I don't really have the money for a formal diagnosis, nor for a doctor, because I'm about three years too old for the state mandated insured autism treatment. Hopefully I'll be able to find something.

Oh and just fyi, meetups really only has resources for CHILDREN and parents with autism. Adult aspergers is really tough because most of the resources out there seem to be for kids.

Apparently University of Denver has a support group for Asperger Syndrome.

Noticed there weren't a lot of good responses, and I've been searching for the same thing myself, so I'll dredge up this thread and post my findings:

http://wwwheartforlistening.com/AutismSpectrum.html

^The woman who runs the place (Linda) has relatives on the spectrum, and specializes in diagnosing autism spectrum conditions, including in adults. She's in CO Springs.


http://therapists.psychologytoday.com/r ... 51&lmore=1

^PsychologyToday website listings of psych professionals. You can search by specialty and location, and listings have been verified by the website to make sure the people have a real license and aren't under review for misconduct.
