(the "DMV" stands for DC, Maryland/Virginia it is the greater-washington DC area with bedroom towns).
not sure if I have it however therapists/family speculate I might have autism. do you know any good doctors that can diagnose me?

My condition is severely effecting my employment life and I may need to get on disability if I qualify. Who can I see for help?

-thx

Perhaps someone at one of the following organizations could advise you on where/how to find a psychotherapist qualified to diagnose autism in adults:

- Autism Society, District of Columbia
- Autism Society, Baltimore-Chesapeake

Alas, as far as I can tell, autism diagnoses just aren't happening during COVID lockdown, but hopefully you can get on a waiting list somewhere.

Paul Giggey with Evergreen Psychological Services

He is on Falls Road in Baltimore.

He takes almost any insurance.

He only evaluates adults.

He was great. He is very thorough. He has a great passion for the work.
