Diagnosis (Female) who doesn't want to go to GP!

NAS71694

Hi, 

I am a 32 year old female who is seeking a diagnosis. I looked into it a couple of years back and found that there were only 2 routes to a diagnosis,

1. Go via your GP

2. Pay a silly amount of money to be referred to an autism specialist

Has anyone else had an issue with these? I am filled with anxiety just thinking about the whole process via the GP and the diagnostic assessment. So much intrusion and involving other people. 

Surely there is a better way to approach getting a diagnosis *I hope*!

I'd be interested in hearing from other people who have felt the same, especially if there is an alternative?

  • your gp doesnt really do so much some questions then he either refers you or not

    is please go via your GP and NHS it willl save u some money.

    The assessments can be a bit more intrusive but within reason.

    I watched a film ( Maniac ) whereby an AI computer diagnosed all mental illnesses,, is that your dream ?

    You can  "self diagnose", u know that right ?

    here is the plan, I followed, just follow one step at a time it will be over in no time. Its worth it.
