is private assessment accepted by NHS?

hello everyone

I am mother of two years old son. I suspect him having mild autism. We already seen language therapist and she confirmed my suspects and now we are on the waiting list for assessment.  It could take long time. I do not want to wait for too long because with big help on time my son could possible 'growth out' the autism. We started thinking of private assessment. My question is: is private assessment accepted by NHS? What happens after assessment?

  • Your son can learn to cope with some things, but he will never be NT. Please love him for who he is and don't try and force him into some average mould.

    Every one can learn and develop to some extent .But anyone who tells you your son can grow out of his autism it lying to you,  if you have a 2 year old autistic son you will have a 12 year old autistic son and a 42 year old autistic son.
