Advice on Private Adult ASD Diagnosis Provider, Scotland.

BigJobs

I’ve been on the NHS waiting list in my area for over a year.  I can’t wait any longer so feel compelled to go private.  I’m male and 50 years old. 

I’ve been looking at potential providers based in Central Scotland and others who diagnosis online.  

Does anyone have any recommendations or feedback, positive or negative from their own experience? 

The places I’ve been looking at so far are: 

Connect to Autism, Glasgow.  

Neurodevelopmental Assessment Stirling

The Edinburgh Practice

Purple House Clinic, Glasgow

A problem shared (Online)

SEIK Psychiatry (Online)

The Adult Autism Practice (Online) 


Any responses greatly appreciated.

  • I haven’t knowledge of private Adult ASD Diagnosis providers in Scotland, but I found myself in a similar situation on a 4+ year NHS waiting list. I contacted the NHS Adult Autism Service that my GP had referred me to, and asked if they would accept a private diagnosis (for my medical records). They said yes, so long as the assessment would be conducted by a multidisciplinary team and would be in accordance with NICE guidelines. You can Google NICE guidelines. For me, it was important to have a face to face assessment as I felt the written feedback report would more accurately reflect my strengths and challenges. I had my assessment just earlier this month; they confirmed I was autistic and gave me some resources to be going on with. I will have my final appointment, giving me a written report, next month. Good luck with your research.
