(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 possible. Who can I see for help?

-thx

In the US, the DMV is the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Where are you located?

I wish there were more people from the DMV area here who can give you the advice you seek.

I recommend Kara Goobic. She's based out of Silver Spring, MD. She's experienced with diagnosing adults and more subtle cases of autism. I felt like she was very knowledgeable and friendly. She's also more affordable than most.

I will have to get back to you. I live in the DMV and was officially diagnosed like four years ago. Havent got the doctors name off the top of my head, but he was good.

There was a clinic that specialized in aspergers in the area, but Ive lost the name of that too.
