Adult Diagnosis, NHS

Haumea

Hi,

I've recently visited my GP about an adult diagnosis for the first time.

He pretty just told me that the NHS no longer fund this ("too expensive") and wouldn't go any further.

Is this true? Is there anything I can do?

Thanks.

  • My adult son was diagnosed as autistic last July.  I searched the Web and information said not all authorities diagnose adult autism. Luckily this was out of date. The new information told me all authorities must diagnose adult autism. My gp rang his wife while we were in his surgery. She diagnosis autism in children, but, instructed him . It took only 2 months for nhs appointment. Go back to gp, or a different one. This was my 3rd gp at same surgery. Don't give up.
