Assessment expectations

Genuine Imitation

Hi - I have a question... I am waiting for an ASD assessment. My understanding was that it would be a single assessment appointment with a verbal indication and a report to follow. However, having read other people's posts there seems to be mention of a second assessment with someone who knows you? I am hoping to clarify if that's the norm, as I like to know what will happen. The observer report has been completed and sent off, but I'm not sure I have anybody I could take with me to an assessment. Wave

  • NHS? It’s often 3 appointments. And you do not get told anything before the final (3rd) report appointment where they discuss things with you. That was our experience anyway.

    Privately, I had an initial telephone consultation, a testing and observation in person appointment, an in depth in person interview appointment, and a final report appointment, which I chose to have on the phone.

    My daughter had the same, plus an extra appointment, as she was also tested for adhd and others developmental disorders.
