    Where can a 61 year old Woman get diagnosed in the USA?

    Hi, I have always had sensory processing disorder, but have never been diagnosed. It’s causing me to lose my job, which I desparetely need. Plus, I just want to finally be officially diagnosed. How can an older person get diagnosed and how much does it cost? Thank you.

But, the more research I do the more I relate to the stories from people with ASD or Aspergers. While I want to seek out professional opinions I would also love to talk with some people to gain...
