If one thinks she may have Asperger's, what should she do? [View all]

I've wanted to see a counselor for so long to get some help to figure out why
i'm the way i am. I just don't know if i am supposed to go to my doctor first
who would recommend me to someone so i can use my insurance, or should
i just seek out a counselor? i have been stuck and unable to make this decision
for a few years now. I thought i would try posting here to see if anyone
could give me some advice.

thank you.
