Hello I'm new here, my partner was assessed in the summer and confirmed as autistic (high functioning, Asperger's). However, diagnosis is expensive and there's a waiting list. Do you recommend it?

I had a late diagnosis. If you’ve been offered a diagnosis take it.. doesn’t matter how long you wait. Mine was nhs/free. This is not something I instigated but was diagnosed anyways :-/ it answers a lot of questions relating to anxiety and depression. Is it worth a diagnosis? Well that depends on what you want from it. Sit there and tell people I’m autistic won’t change a thing. But there is a network of tailored support for those who want and seek it.
