I was diagnosed independently, both from a study in which I participated, and by a psychiatrist.
Let's get it out of the cupboard ...
Here we go. it was by the University of Kansas. It was the Adult Asperger Syndrome Study. I took part in it in 2005. My results were signed by Deborah E Griswold, PhD.
In amongst all the questions and stuff, I have an Asperger Syndrome Diagnosis Scale form, which puts my AS Quotient at 131, and the probability as "Very Likely". I am in the 99th percentile. My personality is ISTJ (I thought it was INTJ, so I will find that other post I made and correct it).
They have a disclaimer that the scores are designed for children, not adults over 19, but that is because they don't have a way to measure adults.
The AS Quotient scale is:
< 69 - Very Unlikely
70 - 79 - Unlikely
80 - 89 - Possibly
90 - 110 - Likely
> 110 - Very Likely
In the standard scores, Language, Social, Maladaptive, Cognitive and Sensorimotor, I scored at least 115, and at most 130, which is the top of my scale.
I also received a "Strong Interest Inventory" which is useful for occupational themes.
Finally I also have hyperlexia, which came out of this study.

I don't know if it is appropriate, so please guide me on this: can I publish the email address for Doctor Griswold (the letter said "Please feel free to email any questions you may have to xxx@xxx", and it gives an address that looks like it is specific to the study)?
