Private assessment help

JennyB

Hi there I am new here and have a lot to learn

My 21 year old daughter is on a 2 year waiting list but I have been offered help to go private. I live near Birmingham and have seen a few places but they offer video call assessments, is this the norm? I am surprised especially given the costs involved!

Is there anything I should be aware of? Will a private diagnosis be recognised by her GP?

Many thanks

Jenny

  • I was wondering whether to get a private assessment where I am, but on the other hand, as it would only otherwise by my word, there are those medical notes, and I know plenty was written on those. I know, because I caught sight of them by accident. Unfortunately it seems to be practically impossible to get hold of them these medical notes from outside the UK and I've no doubt Brexit has thrown in extra spanners. The only thing is, is that it was seen as part of a rather different spectrum in those days, not an autistic one.
