Private assessments

Hi there, you might find this information about assessments useful: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/diagnosis 

Furthermore, it is important the professional you see has experience of autism spectrum disorders. You can find details of diagnostic services on our Autism Services Directory in the Assessment and diagnosis section: https://www.autism.org.uk/directory 

All the best,

Thank you for your reply, I thought this may be the case.

The NHS will accept a diagnosis made by a psychologist, psychiatrist and a neurologist (I think), as long as it meets the NICE guidelines.

Both me and my daughter just gave a copy of out private diagnosis to our GP surgery, and it’s on our record.
