I would recommend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Adult Asperger Syndrome. Not only is it very thorough, but it references a lot of other acedemic literature that you can follow up on reading afterwards.

Check Amazon. They have quite a few titles. I'd definitely start witht this one:

The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome

Here are some others that I've read at least partway through. All have been useful to me in some measure.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Adult Asperger's Syndrome (Very academic look at ASD. I think it's actually a textbook based on the price. Includes lots of citations to published papers and some insight into what you should expect if you seek professional therapy)

I Think I Might Be Autistic (good starting point for the diagnosis process)

Nerdy, Shy, and Socially Inappropriate (Just an autobiographical account of the author's experience with ASD, but still helpful to read IMO)

The Journal of Best Practices (for ASD/NT relationships)

Here are a couple more that I haven't read, but are on my "to-read" list, and seem to fit within the bounds of what you're looking for:

Look Me In the Eye

Yes. If you're on the spectrum (or heck, even if you're not), you may be prone to over-stimulation. And if you have to logic out social situations that other women can effortlessly intuit, that may also drain you.

So comparing your anxiety to various Aspergers symptoms might help you identify triggers and figure out ways to mitigate them.

For example, if I work in a crowded office, I'll spend my breaks taking short walks outside. The fresh air and physical activity clear my head and it's excellent alone time. Or if I'm at a party, I'll clean up after other guests so I have something to focus on besides aimless socializing.

Though I doubt your GP would flag you as anything, there's a good chance she's simply not knowledgeable about this simply because she's a GP and not a specialist. You'd do better to see a therapist with experience on the spectrum.

At the very least, you might address anxiety by teaching yourself Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

You make a decent point in that therapy won't fix Asperger's. It's a developmental disorder, and is to a certain extent a part of the person. However, to say that therapy cannot help with the meta-emotions, associated features, and comorbidities is an overreach. This is a great book on the topic. While primarily aimed at clinicians, it is a great read to get a feel of what therapy can, and cannot, do for Asperger's.

I take issue with your "often make the situation worse" statement. That's a bold claim, and bold, testable claims on this subreddit require evidence. (Aside: Holy shit. $2,000? Do you not have health insurance?)
