Private diagnosis

NAS70807

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

    I have just had my 17 year old daughter diagnosed through a private clinic based in St. Albans, Hertfordshire. The assessment cost £2,200 including ADHD clinical interview and assessment. The assessment was comprised of four elements: the completion of forms and reports by us as parents, by our daughter and by her school, a two-hour interview with parents to get full developmental background, a two-hour interview and interactive tests with our daughter and a feedback session for us all followed by a 19 page report.It was excellent. We had applied for my daughter to be assessed through the NHS with our GPs backing but being told that we could wait up to 2 years for this was unacceptable. This is best 2 grand that I have ever spent.
