Hi, my partner is looking for a provider or a private autism assessment and there seems to be lots of providers online but we don’t know how to pick a good one. Does anyone know what to look for in a website in terms of qualifications, standards, bodies, etc, to know it is going to be a reputable provider? There doesn’t seem to be a number you can call in this site and the organisations in the directory aren’t actually recommended only listed, and Mind can’t help. Do I need to contact NICE or the GMC? I’m lost.. any help would be very gratefully received.
Quick update- I’ve contacted Mind, the GMC and NHS England and none of them know what credentials are needed to become a private autism assessor!
