Hi,
just wondering if anyone has received a diagnosis through the private medical route?

I had mine done privately because my company healthcare covered it - no idea how much it cost. From enquiry to diagnosis was only a few weeks.
The diagnosis took the form of a casual chat for a couple of hours - looking back, the guy was going through all the typical questions in the form of a conversation. (he was *the* top guy who wrote most of the books). My report mentions "Clearly has Asperger's" quite a few times. I'm very much like Mr Data from STNG.
If you're thinking of that route, make sure any report they provide is accepted by DWP and NHS - that will open the door to any support available in your area (which is normally pretty much zero for adults).
