Hi,
My 5 and a half year old son has been referred for an ASD assessment, which has been accepted, however the wait time is 28 weeks long. I look after my son on my own and I feel that he and I would benefit from an assessment sooner. Please can anyone advise of any reputable organisations that do private ASD assessments so my son can receive support sooner before things reach crisis point?
Thanks
Collette
I had a an assessment and diagnosis by Psychiatry UK (https://psychiatry-uk.com/autistic-spectrum-condition/?fbclid=IwAR09GA49SY1svuPujMfmIw6oCEi9rSFiuwVGeUyArr5_ii9PMryONus2mqQ)
I was happy with their service, you can choose the clinician you want and it does work for the NHS, so is fully compliant. I was diagnosed by a NHS consultant psychiatrist who had specialisms in childhood and adult autism.
Thanks Martin
