Self Discovery?

I'm a former research scientist, so I was very thorough. It took me about a month of research and 3 online autism tests to convince me that I was autistic. After that, I researched the official wait time figures for autism assessment following referral on the NHS in England, which was 315 days. I then looked for private providers and decided that a three week waiting time and self-referral were the way to go. Of course this approach was not cheap, but I think health is something worth spending money on if you are able to do so. It goes against my principles to queue-jump, but a wait of almost a year was an unbearable prospect. The assessment was by a consultant psychiatrist and very thorough, I was happy with the outcome.

You never queue jump - consultants allocate some of their time to the NHS and some for private clients - and the rest is for golf.
