my wife tok off with my 1 yr old son interstate for 4 mths,I immediatley filed for divorce,during a temp hearing I agreed for her to have temp sole custody and for me to have temp full use of our home and for me to get my son for a 20 day visitation period.

During his 20 day visit I brought him with me to a Counseling session,the LPC noticed signs of possible Asperger's in my son,however she noticed he makes good eye contact.

Much of my adult life people mention that I do not make eye contact,I do not fit in in groups,I have no friends,anyway,I have actually prior to my wife leaving me been trying to see if there were some symptoms I had of a certain psychological pattern or something for why I have such Social challenges and I am now convinced that I have Asperger's.

The Licensed Professional Counselor wrote a recomendation that my wife and I under go Psychological Evaluations and that my son be seen by a Pediatrician to look for signs of Asperger's.The Ped definately did find signs of Asperger's and wrote a referral for my son to both a Child Psychologist and a Developmental Pediatrician.

I am concerned if I undergo a Psyche Evaluation that I will be diagnosed with Asperger's and will lose chances of winning Full Custody of my son.I was his primary caregiver for his first 8 mths before my wife absconded with him,the LPC wrote she believes my son shows signs of neglect from being in her care,I have notarized affadavits from 10 neighbors documenting my wifes psychotic mental behavior,my wifes writing online that she hallucinates,has suicidal thoughts,depression,just alot against her,but how would a diagnosis of Asperger's which is in the Autism Family but people like me have above average intelligence but just have issues with Social Skills and clumsiness and minor quirks like Compulsive Disorders would this damage my chances of full custody?
