New and looking for advice

Hello everyone. I want my daughter who is 19 years old to be tested for autism. It is something that she also wants as she wants answers to why she is the way she is. I’m presuming it is a long process with the NHS. I just wondered if anyone could share their experience with the diagnosis process and how you got it. NHS or private? Thank you for your time Slight smile

    Hi.

    I was diagnosed at 60 through the NHS via a private provider - this option is sometimes available with NHS trusts which have a long waiting list.

    From GP referral to diagnosis was less than a year.

    The assessment was all done online - so, quite a few forms to complete and then 2 one hour discussions with a psychologist and a psychiatrist via Zoom.

    All the best.
