Hi, I am a special education teacher and the parent of an adult daughter who is on the spectrum. I have had extensive training concerning the needs and services for people with autism and Asperger's syndrome and regularly serve as an expert/advocate for individuals who are diagnosed. Here are two sites that might offer assistance in finding a reputable diagnostician in your area.
He will likely benefit from a social skills group, so a good therapist who is familiar with Asperger's is a good idea.

Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.
