I'm 28 and want to finally receive a diagnosis for autism. I'm in Hull and on the nhs it's an 18 month- 2 year wait so I'm deciding to go private. But a quick Google search is coming up with nothing in the North. Or only online services come up and I feel a face to face assessment would give me a more accurate diagnosis.
Can only really afford at most £600 for an assessment.
Any ideas where to go??? Don't really want to travel further than the Midlands thereabouts.
Thanks :)
Hi Demiboy94,
I have some good news for you 
You can get the nhs to pay for your diagnostic appointment using the Right to Choose Scheme through a private clinic.
As far as I know there's only one company doing this so far. They're called Psychiatry UK and they do all diagnostic appointments online.
They also do ADHD assessments.
This only applies to people living in England, sorry Scotland and Wales.
I only found out about this a couple of days ago through this Facebook group
https://www.facebook.com/groups/righttochoosesupport/?ref=share
There are people in the group who have been diagnosed by them already but the waiting lists are starting to get longer.
Still nothing compared to the nhs waiting list, I waited over 3 years for mine.
You can ask your GP to refer you or you can self refer
This is the link to the website, it explains everything in a lot more detail on there.

I hope it all goes well
