Private assessment and diagnosis advice

NAS69051
over 3 years ago

Hi all

I am looking for advice, as to having my 12 year old daughter assessed and diagnosed to see if she is on the autism spectrum.

We are based in the West Midlands.

We do not want to wait for the NHS, and therefore are looking for any recommendations for a private assessment?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated....

    Did you find a private doctor yet?

    Hi 

    thank you for the response.

    We have not seen a private doctor as yet, but feel we are at that stage now.

    I have seen the below responses recommending Healthcare4kids.

    Are there any other recommendations ??

    We are in a similar position with over a year wait in our health service. Also ours isn't the greatest. We have a Dr called Dr Mallya in Milton Keynes. It's a two hour drive for us, but we saw him this week and he seems to really get what our son needs. He's not advocating for a lot of appointments as well, so it's not cheap but he's not rinsing us. We looked on BMI for him as it gives you a profile on each Dr. Does that help you?
