Adult diagnosis in lincolnshire ? where?

Larocoz

Hi im 19 and i think i have aspergers syndrome, i have all the symptoms and i have been to my GP a few times for a diagnosis, my GP says i have aspergers too but she can not find anyone that can provide a formal diagnosis. so iv decided to try and find someone privately.

I live in North Lincolnshire, Does anybody know anyone that mght be able to help me ? I am going to university in september and i want to ensure i get the help i need to make it easier for me to cope away from home.

any feedback would be great, or anyone else experiencing it hard to find someone to give a diagnosis ?

thanks

  • hi, first reply here..hope it works.

     

    I asked about private diagnosis and was told it can be very expensive compared to the more usual psychiatrist diagnosis.

     

    If your GP supports you I would hope they can refer you to the area mental health team. I waited only 6 weeks for an appointment and was seen by both a clinical psychologist and a consulting psychiatrist - very thorough about 2 hours in total with a 20 min break in the middle.
