Counselors aren't really trained to diagnose it from what I've found. Also wrongplanet.com scares the heck out of me. I went looking for message boards and websites and found that often it seemed from what I read, that many were self diagnosed with the idea that having Aspergers is like being one of the characters in the Big Bang Theory.

I wanted to add that it is more then just being "socially awkward" or "nerdy". It has to do with social interpretations, motors skills, sensory processing, visual spacial awareness, repetitive behaviors, etc.
