Recommendations for private autism diagnosis

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

  • I’m being assessed by SEIK Psychiatry. They are reasonably priced (£650) and so far have been very professional and also very supportive. I had my first interview two weeks ago with a psychologist using the DISCO diagnostic test. He gave me extra time because I was talking so much! He told me I scored highly, ie likely to receive a diagnosis of autism. My second interview is tomorrow with a psychiatrist. Both interviews need you to attend with a family member or close friend who has known you over the years, but not necessarily from childhood. I’ll let you know how tomorrow goes, but so far I would definitely recommend SEIK

  • I like the new profile picture, Clarissa! I am looking forward to hearing how you got on.
