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!

  • Hello, I don't live in England, but i am thinking of travelling to London in a few weeks with my sister (31yo) to seek help for her. She was tested for autism a few years ago, but results came back negative. I, and the rest of her family are not so convinced. Where we live there is very little support and services provided for this or any type of personality disorder. 

    What I would like to know is, if we are in London for one week, what would our options be, in particular as non-residents? I would like to have her tested, and don't mind paying for this to be done..though preferably not through the nose! Can anyone recommend anyone or suggest a route to follow? I have been reading on here that a private diagnosis can be a combo of over-priced, sometimes unreliable and unacceptable as an official diagnosis when, for example, applying for benefit. Since the latter is not applicable to my sister as we live outside the UK, and since we don't have the luxury of time, is a private diagnosis not our only option? 

    Thank you for your help :)
