When I discovered Asperger's (by accident) I contacted my old psychiatrist, who felt an assessment would be very helpful in self-understanding. She recommended I either get assessed by a psychologist or psychiatrist. I ended up seeing a psychiatrist, since I couldn't afford the $1500 psychologist fee.
The psychiatrist I saw did ASD assessments. Mine was done over 4 appointments. We talked about my life, my developmental history and social difficulties. I filled out a few questionnaires and so did my mother, who was also interviewed to verify my developmental history.
Local autism organizations often have resources for adults who are interested in getting assessed.
