Looking for a Private Diagnosis

DaddyPigTattoo

Hi there,

I am looking to get the ball rolling sooner rather than later  when it comes to getting myself an assessment.

Anyone recommend a faster track than waiting and waiting and miscommunicating and miscommunication with my GP?

Money is a slight issue but I would rather work my socks off and save to get an assessment than go through what I have been going through with my GP.

Many thanks in advance for all the advice and comments and I look forward to reading the hopeful answers to my woes.

  • I went private, cost £1400 for autism diagnosis and then a further £700 for ADHD (if applicable to you). I found the centre 25 miles from me by googling adult autism diagnosis. I made sure they used the NICE recommended process and they did. This was 3 months ago.  If your daughter is under 18 you need to more careful about a private diagnosis as a lot of schools will not accept a diagnosis outside the NHS,  assuming she would need additional support. Hope that helps:)
