I have my ASD assessment booked. The NHS waiting list in my area is years and as I am now 36 and struggling with depression and anxiety I think may be related to masking I just don’t feel I can wait that long.
I am incredibly fortunate that through my husband’s job we have private healthcare which will cover a private assessment.
Unfortunately I’ve had a few people tell me that ‘you get what you pay for’ and that private assessors will pretty much diagnose anyone. This is making me really worried and I wondered if anyone had any thoughts on this?
My GP told me about ‘Right to choose’ which is a shorter waiting list and still NHS. Ask about that.
