From start to finish, I had an official diagnosis in less than 2 weeks. After many hospital stays in the Behavioral Health Unit, and not much help long term, I basically diagnosed myself. The next time I was hospitalized, I told them I thought I has Asperger's. Two days later a specialist showed up and gave me various tests for three days. WISC, IQ, and a bunch of others. They did a phone interview with my mom as well. They left, saying that I most likely was on the spectrum. A week later, the official diagnosis report and test results came in the mail. Perhaps I had good timing? I don't know.
