Paying private for an ASD and an ADHD test

Kate

Hi, my son has just been accepted for the assessment for ASD and ADHD but the waiting list is around 2 years…. 
has anyone gone private for their child? Could anyone give me any information on this? 

thank you Blush

  • I've just been diagnosed as an adult snd went private.  Didnt take that long, a couple of months.

    I also know a family thst went NHS for their 11yo daughter who was clearly autistic but she didn't meet the criteria.  She then went private a similar time to me and she has now been diagnosed.  She went through a rough patch and since being diagnosed seems to be making better choices.   She hasn't yet come to terms with the diagnosis but is dealing and understanding more about herself.

    I would recommend going private if you can afford it.
