Private assessment

Has anyone’s employer ever paid for them to have a private assessment?  

Or has anyone paid for a private assessment, and how did you find it?

  • My assessment was covered under my company health insurance.   Spoke to them, got the green light, googled for the top person in the area, got GP to write the referral letter to that person, booked the appointment and all done & dusted - from becoming aware of a problem to it being suggested that I might be Asperger's to full diagnosis in a couple of weeks.

    The assessment took the form of me chatting to the specialist for an hour or so where I suspect he was doing all the written testing verbally with me.   The report a week or so later contained the phrase "clearly has Asperger's" many times.

    BTW - I'm a super-nerd engineer with a background Savant presentation - think Sheldon Cooper or Mr Data - so it's pretty darned obvious to those in the know..
