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!

    Those people with AS who do not require any support are very much in the minority, and yet this minority appears inflated because individuals who do not struggle at all get a diagnosis just in order to understand themselves. But in this situation self-diagnosis could be just as effective.

    You puzzle me when you say  this, Hope, because in my opinion self-diagnosis means nothing.  I certainly thought I had AS before diagnosis but I needed that dx by a professional to confirm or otherwise that I was on the spectrum.
