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!

  • BUT.......

    I was told something strange when I got my diagnosis. They said they didn't always give people a diagnosis who needed one. They gave me a diagnosis because it was clear I could use it advantageously, which has proven to be the case. They said they sometimes didn't give a diagnosis if it was felt someone wouldn't be able to handle it well - ie if it might lead to further depression or mental ill-health.

    Now maybe this is nonsense - I may have misunderstood, NAS Moderators have you heard of this?
