Paying for a private assessment of Autism DISCO

Hello,

This is my first time posting on the forum, so hopefully i've asked this question in the correct area Slight smile

I'm having to pay for a private assessment and i'm starting to get a little nervous about it all! I've found someone local to me using the NAS website but was wondering if it's normal for just one person to do the assessment? According to the NAS's section on Aspergers, normally a team of people are involved in the diagnosis process. This is going to cost me around £700 so i'm really wanting to make the right choice.

He uses the DISCO framework which I don't know much about but as it's what the Lorna Wing Centre use i'm guessing that it's a good sign? (I can't afford Lorna Wing or I would go there as apparently they're very experienced in diagnosing women)

Any experience of this or general advice is most welcome. Thanks.
