Advice for Raising funds for a private diagnosis

Hello - (seeking advice not money don’t worry!)
I am a young student adult seeking to raise funds for a private diagnosis as I am really struggling at the moment to cope with my symptoms, as well as explain things to employers (not being able to wear wool, being overstimulated etc) and an NHS one is over 3 years waiting plus they keep trying to say I need to do an ADHD one and can’t do an autism spectrum one, but having looked into ADHD I don’t resonate with lots of that- my issues: 

  1. My parents don’t love diagnosis so won’t be able to help and I also don’t want them to find out - my sibling was diagnosed a long time ago and my sibling was never told and now my parent denies that happened. Wondering how I can fundraise without using my social media? 
  2. it costs £950 for the cheapest one I found. That would be a more 100s than are in my savings. When I graduate and get a job I am trying to save to move out so will am nervous about affording both 
  3. most importantly- what are the best ways to fundraise? I can bake cakes and stuff but I don’t know where I’d be allowed to sell them

any advice is very welcome x
