Who is waiting for their assessment over here ? Would love to chat with those going through a similar experience.

Unfortunately it's all about funding, the assessment centres get X amount of funding, they assign this to however many people they can assess with that funding and then have to wait for the next amount which can be months. It took a long time for our sons assessment. We were told we could pay for a private one which would cost a fortune but then the NHS still wouldn't recognise that for any further support which just seems ridiculous.

I hope it comes through soon for you, just keep posting on here i'm sure you will meet some people to just chat too

Thank you for your reply. It's good to hear your experience. 

I am on a waiting list of 18 months on the nhs side (it took me more than a year to be on thah list). And I am trying to also do it privatly so it is quicker (around 6 months). I wasn't sure if it was gonna be recognised by the nhs or not... I am going in a place recognised by the nhs but I didn't know that doing it privatly could stop nhs from recognising the diagnosis.

I particulary want to do it so I can tell my futur employers as it is hard for me to cope at work.
