i called a local autism support organization when i was looking specifically for a social skills group--they were more than happy to give me several names of tdocs who specialized in spectrum issues and were kind enough to give me the "inside info" that i needed to make a decision....
i'd start by googling your state+austism or aspergers (i just did, it looks like you have an excellent resource in AANE/groden center)....and ask for THEM for recommendations. you dont necessarily need to use their services if they arent appropriate, but pick their brain for what might be appropriate to meet your needs.
i can tell you from experience that your ins. co will be happy to give you a list of tdocs...10 of which no longer accept your insurance, 5 of which who deal with addictions, 8 of which who focus on adults and about 42 who no longer accept new patients, so save your efforts by narrowing it down to a few names, then sort out ins. issues.
but ask around--you'd be surprised at what people are willing to tell you if you do
