The quickest way to get a diagnosis is through school, ask them to refer you to the school doctor.
What i never found out straight away when my eldest son was diagnosed, was that aspergers and dispraxia go hand in hand, so this explains your son being clumbsy. My younger son is ADHD so i know exactly how you're feeling. I'm fighting the school at the moment about a 3 week exclusion they have given him for swearing at a teacher.
The diagnosis for Aspergers does take a while but you will get there in the end, also look at getting your other son in for testing for ADHD. If ever you need to talk, just email me and i will give you advise on how to go about things, as its your right to have your children tested!
