Hello, everyone. I'm trying to find someone in Las Vegas who specializes in Asperger's Syndrome in adult females, who can perform an assessment, and possibly provide a diagnosis. Unfortunately, the centers and resources I have researched, and/or made contact with so far, have only been able to provide leads for those specializing in children.

In recent months, I have learned about Asperger's Syndrome, and am fairly convinced this is what I have, considering it almost completely describes myself, and my past experiences. However, to be sure, I want to seek an official diagnosis.

Since I've had a tough time finding my own leads through local networks, my thought is someone here might have some leads on a reputable specialist in Las Vegas who can hopefully provide me with some answers.

Does anyone have recommendations?

Thank you!

You might want to go back to some of those leads to see if, even though they specialize in children, if they'll see you, anyways. I was 19 when I was diagnosed by a developmental pediatrician.

I think you are looking for a diagnosis for self-validation, but you may need to find validation elsewhere, because a diagnosis of an ASD isn't a guarantee, even if you have one.
