  • You would think it would be in the interests of the organisations providing private diagnosis (Like Cambridge - £1000 plus I believe?) to do something to ensure that their private diagnoses are acted upon by the NHS.

    And who Chaired the committee that set up the NICE guidelines for adults with autism?

    The obstructive behaviour of some NHS staff over private diagnoses is inexplicable, and in terms of the harm it does to affected individuals it is unethical.

    Particularly if you consider the health service organisations that got the recent funding to develop adult autism awareness training.
