How do I get my 19 year old son diagnosed?

Rachel Bee

Hi,

Where do I start when trying to get my 19-year-old son diagnosed? I have had my suspicions since he was very young but he has always coped well. He has now finished his first year of uni and has really struggled with everything really. Obviously, the waiting lists on the NHS are long,  so I was thinking of getting him a private diagnosis, but I don't know where to start?

Can anybody help me, please?

Rachel

  • here is my extra notes of things to make ready for an assessment team

    Make a list of reasons why u think u are autistic.

    include blood relatives in your family who are autistic or adhd or called weird/different

    and a list of occasions when u have been called weird, autistic, different

    the list should be electronic ie so you can email it to anyone who wants it.
