Private diagnosis

Hello

I am a 31 year old female and I have suspected for a while that I may be autistic. 

Ive decided to try and pursue a diagnosis this year for various reasons however I’m finding it difficult to get an “average” price for private assessment. 

Currently the lowest quote I have is £2k, has anyone had experience of paying privately and would be able to give me an idea of the costs involved? 

Thanks in advance

  • If you're working, do you have company health insurance?    We spoke to my company's insurer and they agreed to pay for my diagnosis - it was then just a case of finding the top people in the area and seeing if they are on the approved list from the insurer and then getting your gp to refer - I was done and dusted in a couple of weeks.

    You need to make sure you are getting a full diagnosis that will be accepted as proof of your condition to the NHS, DWP etc. - a *proper* diagnosis.     Talk to the companies about what exactly they will provide.   As you can see from the other replies - you need to make sure you;re getting what you think you need - some are scammers who will just print out the on-line tests and fleece you to mark them for you - that is worthless..    

  • Sadly the company I work with don't have company health insurance. Thanks for the info & warning about scams.
