Hi Scott, welcome to WrongPlanet. I'm an Aussie Aspie from Sydney.
Have you looked at any of the scientific tests that may help you work out where you are on the spectrum? A link to a number of good or interesting tests is {here}.
I don't know of any "mental health retreats" in Australia for Aspies. I am not even sure what you mean by that term. There are a few mutual support groups for adults with Asperger's, although I have never attended one. I have been to a day-long seminar run by one of the support groups in Sydney, and that was great (I wanted to hear their visiting speaker, who I knew about from the Internet).
I am seeing a psychologist in Sydney - there are a couple of clinics around Sydney that specialise in autism spectrum disorders.
There are Asperger's or autism spectrum support groups in each state in Australia. |

That depends on what results you mean. Results from the "scientific tests" can be posted on the same thread where the list of tests appear. |
