The right to choose option for assessment

Can anyopne explain what this looks like, practically, I mean, ie do I ask the GP to do this? Do they have to have these agreements in place with other places? Is there any way I can find out what agreements they have in place with who? it's not on there website so I guess it means asking. Do you need a reason to choose another place? or is just being faster a good one.....Is the DSM 5 criteria usually used or others? which is best suited to woman. Does it matter? 

I'm on the NHS waiting list (about a year in my area). I hope to move and don't want to then have to start again at the bottom in a different area.. 

I've read the information on here and other places online so I'm not looking for that. Sorry about all the questions, thanks for your replies. 

God bless you all

  • So I just messaged my GP in the way I would usually to book an appointment,  then received a message back with the questions to answer and AQ10. When I had filled that all in they sent me the information about Right to choose and I picked Problem shared. I hope it will be okay because no one else here has mentioned them. It has all been sent off and I am now waiting to hear back. 
    I am doubting myself about whether I can possibly be autistic as I’m not young! But all my test scores are very high and I relate to show many other people’s experiences.
