Going private

Sarah

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.

  • Private assessment and diagnosis are quicker than the NHS generally but obviously there is a cost associated with it. I went private and it was a smooth process and told me what I had suspected for a long time. I did try the NHS first but I was "lost" on their system twice! 

    You could always read up on private assessments and see what best suits your son and what you might be able to afford.

    Wish you luck.
