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!

  • And I agree True Colors. I was just suggesting reasons as to why GPs may be reluctant to refer some adults (who do not have mental health problems) for diagnosis. If adults do not require support then diagnosis is more  needed for personal catharsis then as a means to social care.  I am simply acting as the devil's advocate by raising the point that the Health Service cannot diagnose everyone due to the limited resources which it has at present.
