Recommendations for private autism diagnosis

Davey Hall
6 days ago

Hi, first time on here. Our doctors suspect that our 19 year old daughter has autism. We’ve been told that the waiting list for NHS autism diagnosis is 4 years. I’m willing to pay for an assessment, can anybody recommend a private autism diagnosis group? Thanks, David

    Hi there,

    I went through NHS right to chose via Psychiatry UK, if you google it it will come up. I had to complete a self report questionnaire and then take a template letter (from the website) to my GP and ask him to refer to them. In total the whole process took 9 months. In between then I was sent forms to complete both myself and a family member to support the assessment.

    obviously private will be quicker but this is also another option . Hope this helps.
