I got blocked by the dumb shit who made the stamp so I can't respond to you that way, so I'm resorted to putting it here.
My sources are real life, in that I went through college and tried to land a job, and the 27 symptoms are on the Asperger's page on a site called WrongDiagnosis. It's a site that tells you all the symptoms so that you can make your own decision.

*goes to look at WrongDiagnosis.com*
"The objective of the site is to encourage consumers to be informed and interested in managing their health, and to know what questions to ask their doctors to help ensure they are getting the best healthcare possible. "
Hmmmmm....

in other words, pretty credible shit. To basicallly tell you why I don't really trust most psychiatrists, you really have to look at this from a REAL WORLD perspective.
You are a snake oil salesman. You have a bunch of victims who are hoping to understand why they're not doing as well as everyone else. Do you A) solve all their problems in two weeks and send them on their merry way, charging them only $300 or B) bilk every last penny you can out of them while telling them they're making progress.
99 out of 100 psychologists choose B. There's a good reason why "Therapists" and "the rapists" use the exact same letters in the exact same order.

Oh boy, where to start. First I want to call your attention to part of that site's mission statement, "to know what questions to ask their doctors to help ensure". Notice that it did not say "to know how to deal with it themselves and not go to a doctor". Most sites like this have a similar disclaimer reminding people that their info is not meant to be a substitute for professional help. Now is this to say you have to be completely dependent on professionals? Of course not!
Now then, as for your snake oil salesman analogy, I know where you are coming from. Unfortunately, there *are* some therapists and psychiatrists out there (which are very different professions btw) that are corrupt in their practices and just try to make money off of others suffering. If you had the misfortune of running into one of these, I am truly sorry.
But I want to let you know that there are MANY therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and counselors out there that are not trying to take advantage of their patients. I can say from personal experience that many of the people in these professions genuinely want to help people, and do a pretty good job of it most of the time
That said, even these well meaning people are not quite the same as a snake oil salesmen. Join pain is a tad easier to diagonis and treat than most mental disorders, so even people who aren't scamming you at all might need time to help someone with a mental issue. That said, a good psychologist knows that they aren't a miracle worker, and the patient should keep that in mind too. They are there to help you, not "cure" you necessarily.
Also, let's stay away from made-up statistics, because that just tends to confuse people ^_^
Finally, just to be clear, the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist is that the latter prescribes medicine for mental issues, while the former does counseling. I am assuming your accusations apply to the former.

Actually, my negative experiences stem from taking a psychologist for 3 years (1999-2002) and she basically kept saying the same shit over and over again "What does that mean?" and "How does that make you feel?". She was doing this because the state paid her salary, so instead of her having to produce any results, she simply kept doing more of the same week after week.
But I think the biggest pile of shit goes to the psychologists because they didn't recognize this syndrome right away. Do you know how long the psychologist community took before finally even recognizing that Asperger's Syndrome was real? FIFTEEN years. Here's a little history lesson for you.
Hans Asperger's documents were found in 1981, in German, speaking of autistic kids with trouble looking people in the eyes, high rote memory and the ability to talk about certain subjects for hours on end. The U.S. Government translated the documents and for ten years said "This is interesting, but these are NOT our kids".
Ten years of kids and adults with real problems and the government did nothing until 1991, when Asperger's Syndrome was added to the World Health Organization's database and started appearing in journals. It was in there, CREDIBLE information of a real problem, and the psychologists didn't bother to start assigning people with Asperger's. Even in 2002, it was not recognized as a real disability, but something that was made up. When did the psychologists jump on the Aspie bandwagon? 2006. Twenty-five years after the information was found and fifteen years after they were added to the database.
Here's a hint for you. One thing that the psychological community will tell you is that autism rates have jumped 600% since 1991. No, autism rates have been almost flat for the last 20 years. It's the DIAGNOSIS of Autism and the recognition of Asperger's Syndrome that forced the rate to catapult.
The way I look at it is simple. A friend who understands you can help you live with a syndrome like this. If I'm going to fork over shitloads of money so my psychologist can keep wiping his ass with $100 bills and drive a gold-plated Ferrari, I want to see results for the hard earned money that I have to cough up.
Let's put it another way. Say there's a big nasty dog that every day runs onto your yard, scares away the neighborhood kids and mauls small animals. You're genuinely terrified that this pooch will make you his next meal. You tell your neighbor and he'll tell you he'll "manage" it for $150 a week, every week. Does that sound fair to you? So let's say you pay the blackmail money. What does he do to manage it? He puts up a three foot high fence. But guess what? The dog jumps the fence and keeps terrorizing the children and kills off your favorite cat. Better yet, you call the ASPCA, but they tell you that only you can tackle the problem, which is what most psychologists tell you about mental disorders.
Finally you have had enough, grab a gigantic aluminum bat and pound the dog enough that you know it will never scare any kids and you avenge your cat's death. You can walk the streets tomorrow knowing that you won't have a big ugly fucking dog terrorizing you any more. That's what I want the psychologists to do. Depression and Asperger's are, generally speaking, hand in hand and they are a huge vicious black dog that terrorizes you every day. Managing it won't make it better. You want to get rid of that thing.

Um.....well like I said before, psychologists aren't magicians..they CAN'T just make it go away. They are there to guide people and help provide aid when needed. I'm glad you don't need any extra accommodations in school to function, but some people do, and the "I think I have ____" usually won't cut it for legal accommodation in school and elsewhere. Also, while I truly am sorry you had such a bad experience with a psychologist in the past, I think it is incredibly unfair to generalize that to ALL psychologists, since many of them I've met are nothing like this. And just because the information is out there, doesn't mean people know about it. And this isn't just do to ignorance. You ever heard of Trichotillomania? If not, I doubt it's because you are trying to ignore it. And I hate to tell you this but the idea that "only you can tackle the problem" is true to an extent; psychologists aren't miracle workers. They can't help you if you don't want to be helped.
And like it or not, Autism and Aspergers Syndrome is not "simple" in any sense of the word. Professional or not, to say that it is simple is rather naive. Not to mention the fact that you seem to think you know all there is to know about Aspergers just because you might have it. That isn't the way it works. You seem to be very adamant about the idea of finding a cure for autism ( or at least that is what I got form your analogy about beating up dogs), so I am curious if you are aware that not everyone even sees it as a "disorder" per say anymore. This new view is supported by many people who have ASDs themselves.
In short, I realize that "the way you look at it" is "simple". But I think that is a problem in itself. And while I agree that increased incidence of the condition is not the cause of the increased prevalence, the question remains, what is? I don't think diagnosis change alone can explain it. I have my own theories, but that is another story.
