Dr. Tony Attwood! But unless you live in Australia, you will have to settle for buying his books! Lol!
I'm unclear if whether you are asking what kind of doctor is good for those who have Aspergers, or if you are looking for a good doctor... But I will do my best to answer, either way...
Typically a psychologist who is experienced with autism would do an evaluation and diagnosis. A Psychiatrist would prescribe any medication. (Although there isn't any "medicine for autism", those on the spectrum almost always have issues with depression and/or anxiety, due to feeling like a fish out of water... Other diagnoses like ADHD with the Aspergers may mean other kinds of medication, too.) Some go to occupational and "speech" therapy, although those are professionals, not doctors. The schools have a diagnostician, who has a degree in psychology with other schooling in things like special education. Adults (and kids, in my opinion actually benefit very much from something called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This helps the Aspie change the way they feel about themselves, by changing what thoughts trigger which emotions. (You think about something, which triggers an emotions. Bad emotions, bad thoughts.)
Unfortunately many doctors don't understand Aspergers, things like thought processes, motivations, etc. It's one thing to be knowledgeable about Aspergers, and another to really be able to understand the thinking. I'm an Aspergers Specialist, and I have Aspergers, so that really help me help the parents understand why their kiddo is doing what they are doing, and the best way to help the kiddo do it differently. If you are looking for someone to help you, I would suggest finding someone who is actually on the spectrum.
