Getting a Asperger's diagnosis, young adult, how?

Is this the right section?

I know others have asked so please redirect me if necessary!

DS2 is 22. I think he's on the Asperger's end of the autistic spectrum.
For the first time, yesterday, he told me he's wondering if his social interaction struggles are due to AS. He's at uni (tho home til Sept, now).

My questions are:

If he does have AS, will a diagnosis be useful to him, other than helping him understand why he struggles socially?

Is there any support for young adults with AS out there?

Your thoughts, please.

It isn't a blanket ban AFAIK- more to do with someone's care needs.
