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!

  • My GP was very reluctant to send me for assessment, advising that Asperger's in Adults did not exist. I was somewhat surprised therefore to find out that in my referal letter to CMHT he did actually mention it!

    Having said that, CMHT have advised they don't think I'm 'severe' enough to warrant any Mental Health help and have bounced me back to the GP. He, fantastically, is fighting my corner however and is intending to go back to them and get them to take me on!
