Some people within the Aspergers/Autism community complain that it takes too long to receive an official diagnosis. I have even read cases were people have went to private specialists rather than through the state health system.
For me, I would say it took a number of months for me to get officially diagnosed. I can't say what the exact time frame was as I was unaware that I was being examined for any sort of diagnosis (see my previous threads for more details). I would usually have seen a psychologist once a week and talk with him for about an hour each time. I also seen another psychologist at the same time who worked with the first one.
In addition, throughout the entire saga I was seeing multiple doctors, social services and education welfare officers as well. I doubt they had anything to do with the final diagnosis but no doubt that they were checking for other stuff that may have been "wrong" with me.
How long did it take you to receive a diagnosis? Are you satisfied with the length of time that it took?
