Is my husband on the spectrum?

I have suspected for some time that my husband might be 'on the spectrum' as well as our son, and he admits himself that he was a strange child who didn't make friends and struggled with some schoolwork (though he now has a Cambridge degree!). Any tips on getting an assessment for him? Does it have to go through the GP or are there affordable private methods (it's very difficult to get him to go to the doctor).

I feel that if he had a diagnosis, I would cope better with aspects of his behaviour, knowing there was a neurological reason for them, rather than him just being awkward!

  • Thanks for the test links XAVI - I had already got the Baron-Cohen one but am waiting for the right moment to email a link to my hubby!

    On the advice of another internet friend I tried the NAS website but when I click on the 'Diagnosis for adults' link I just get 'page not found'. Are the NAS aware of this? Perhaps you should tell them, XAVI.
