Hello. I'm convinced I have Asperger's. Does anyone know where one can go in NYC for diagnosis and treatment?

I was diagnosed by Dr. Richard Perry, who's considered one of the foremost experts on AS, but he doesn't do (or hasn't done for me) much in the way of "treatment" per se, and he isn't very touchy-feely, if you're looking for that kind of thing. You'd have to speak to a separate therapist for that.
