Paying Privately for Adult Aspergers Assessment?

ice lolly

Hello all,

I am thinking of paying privately for an adult Aspergers assessment (for myself) so that I don't have to wait for my GP to refer me, and was wondering if anyone had any experience of doing this ...

Thanks!

  • It is indirect evidence that private medicine contains pitfalls. Doctors are concerned with the profit motive, so what is to stop them from diagnosing people quickly and badly in order to encourage other people to come to them for diagnosis? I am not saying this happens that often, but surely there is not much to stop it from happening in private practice?
