How do you professionally diagnose Aspergers?

Aspergers is sometimes difficult to diagnose as it can present with many other disorders such as:
* Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder
• Depressive Disorder
• Dysthymia Disorder
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
• Seizure Disorder/Epilepsy
• Sensory Integration Dysfunction
• Tourette’s Syndrome
The diagnosis is usually done by a Psychiatrist and is a very comprehensive assessment that involves looking at  the history, behaviours, an interview with the parents, a psychological assessment and recommendations.
