If you can get a medical doctor to prescribe an MRI or CAT or PET scan, it can
be covered by insurance. If you get it done, have a written analysis of the
images taken and then, meet with a neurologist or brain-specialist doctor to
"translate" it to "layman's terms." It won't specifically diagnose Asperger's.
But it could give physiological justification for Asperger's or Autism-like
behaviors, and you can SEE just where the "deficiencies" or overabundances are
in the brain that could explain one's Asperger's tendencies.

What have been your experiences with brain scans and Asperger's?

Worth the cost or throwing money down the drain?
