Sorry I have no ready answer. I often feel the same desire. So we share that. Also, your sarcasm is greatly appreciated. It gave me my best laugh of the day..... I hope this gives you a tidbit of support.
When I joined this group and read through the group posts I thought that most of the members of the group were aspies, Nowhereman. I also saw a post that included tests to identify the condition, but they were deleted. I think that there's unfortunately still stigma around anything that makes someone different from the herd. The US especially seems to regulate conformity.
There is an Autism and Aspergers group on Agnostic, but can't help you beyond that, sorry.
Unconfirmed by diagnosis, but pretty certain that I am on the spectrum. But with mad coping skills, thanks to emulating my evil twin.

According to my doctors I am. Personally, however, I believe I am.

A person with Aspergers which is a form of autism
As in Asperger Syndrome? I'm not, but one of my nephews is confirmed on the spectrum. Was actually sort of a relief that he got the diagnosis because he was having a lot of problems in school and now his family qualifies for assistance for resources tailored to his needs. His half-brother (same dad, different mother, different household) is too young to really say but he definitely has some tell-tale behaviors
