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!

  • Thanks, Jim, for the clarification. I am not arguing that no-one should seek private diagnosis, if this would help them, but I think it should be the port of last resort. My personal ethics are skewed against private medicine because I am sceptical of its validity (this is not to say that there is routine corruption, just that this is more likely under private medicine than in the NHS). But I understand that for some people any diagnosis is better than nothing
