I am a 37 year old and have been referred on to my local NHS autistic assessment centre by my GP. The only problem is the waiting list for assessment is 33 months. My work health insurance will not cover aspergers, so I am looking at finding one myself. I personally hate uncertainty and would like to find out as fast as possible. Is there a list of private clinics that offer multi-disciplinary assessment for GP referrals in the UK?
Obviously, if anyone knows or has experience of a place that is responsive please let me know thanks.
Good question. When I had to look, I used the Autism Directory on the NAS website which can be located here:
https://www.autism.org.uk/services/helplines/directory.aspx
I’m not sure where your based in the UK but if you use the advance settings in your search, that should help.
I should add that I’m not sure of any specific provider. Hopefully other contributors may be able to help.
