Going private

Sarah
1 month ago

Hi Wave

Super new to this what are peoples views going private for an assessment? Bit of background 

Son 33years (4 in dec)

Very little speech

No sense of danger runs out in to the road, climbs everything, waves to strangers 

Bites, hits, kicks and pinches 

Yellow food eater 

Spins, jumps a lot

Squints his eyes a lot 

Masks at nursery and brusts when he's out

Nursery say he's good as gold and does everything asked which isn't helping 

Both his cousins have autism and he's just like them when they were his  age.

    My diagnosis was a lot later in life, but i was lucky to be able to go private due to work providing AXA cover. Waiting list was 14 weeks, apparently NHS is anything upto a year or two now. So I guess if you're wanting answers quickly you'd need to go  private.

    Hope everything works out for you!

    That's really good to know, I just feel its me and my family fighting for my boy he's super hard work, NHS waiting time is ridiculous and I would like to get some sort of answers before starting school if I can.
