We had to wait about a year for our dx from our children's hospital too (Texas).

It is the only quality place around that takes insurance, hence the huge waiting

lists. We took him to a clinical psych who had a lot of experience in AS and he

explained what social skills training was, told us it should be the foundation

of any intervention program we did, should be long-term, wasn't optional, to put

our foot down with our son if he objected, --so that was where we started. And

I actually think that was a good place to start.
