Hiya,
Last year took the plunge and paid £800 for a full autism assessment, completed by a private psychologist. This went okay, and I was diagnosed as on the spectrum. However, afterwards I was supposed to recieve a full report describing how i had answered all the questions etc.
They said it would take two weeks, and when that time was up i gave them an email asking for an update. This was back in the first lockdown, and they were experiencing delays due to adjustments, which is fair enough. They said the draft would be completed in another 7 days.
...Two weeks later I email them once again about the report, to which they explain that they pulled a muscle in their neck which was making writing hard (okay, but you could have told me that earlier...). Eventually I get the draft of my report, but by that time I was pretty tired of having to prompt all the communication, so I wait until they email me.
...It's almost been a year since then. My interactions with the psychologist honestly make me question the validity of the diagnosis. Did they just not care? Were they just telling me what I wanted to hear to get me out of their hair?
They're self- employed, so it's not like I can complain to their boss, so what should I do? Should I email them? I don't really care about the report, I'd just like some clarification on what the heck happened!
All the best,
LC
