If you had developmental delays then you would have been diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder under the old diagnostic criteria - Asperger Syndrome doesn't have developmental delays, this is the only distinction between Autism Spectrum Disorder and Asperger Syndrome diagnosis - as it is Asperger Syndrome is no longer recognized by the DSM as a diagnosis.

Someone should give you an assessment for Autism, if your counselor can't do this they can refer you to someone who can - this just involves asking questions about your experiences and how you were when you were younger. It's a good idea for you to learn a little more about Autism yourself.
