Hi and welcome.
Have you broached the subject with him?
If you have and he is receptive, probably doing some online questionnaires would be a good place to start. The Aspie Quiz is a pretty good gauge to begin with.
After that, some of the Americans here would probably have more info about what resources are available to you.

Americans here would probably have more info about what resources are available to you.

And the answer to that is: zero resources are available to an adult with aspergers. At least he has some family that is concerned about his wellbeing.

I was rather more referring to getting a diagnosis (if that is what they want) and finding a good and knowledgeable psychologist.

Hi...yes we carefully broached the subject and he was pretty receptive. He took a quiz and we will take it from there. Thanks
