| Where can adults can evaluated. I am definitely dealing with one of the above and instead of constantly getting mad at him, maybe if he gets a diagnosis I'll understand him better and together we can develop strategies. I've heard of other couples where it really helped once there was a diagnosis in place. Any ideas where to go? |

Where are you located?
Also, there are some adult support groups for things like Aspergers, anxiety, ADHD: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/26481.page A support group might have some helpful suggestions. |

| DH was evalauted as an adult at Stixrud and Associates in Silver Spring. They have at least one neuropsych who specializes in adults. It was very helpful. |

| OP here, We are in DC. Is there any form of adult evaluation that doesn't involve a $3200 bill like at Stixrud? |

| I don't know ... it is expensive but there are a battery of tests used to identify ADHD and particularly Asperger's. |

| Also I should add that our insurance paid for at least half of the eval. |
