Please help me! Make female assessments safer!

Here’s a link to my traumatic experience of Psicon’s unprofessional boundaries and clinical unsuitability when assessing me for autism.  Notice Psicon don’t deny any of it—that speaks volumes.  They’ve just relied on the complaints process being complete, but notice they don’t deny any of the specific failings I raised about that very process, so what does that tell you?  Then they claim their current service isn’t reflected in my review, but I’ll leave you to judge if their current reply is at all open or caring.   I believe it’s vital the public – especially females - sees this, as it’s not just my wellbeing I’m concerned for. I’ve taken this as far as I can manage, so if you share my continuing concerns, please post this wherever you can.

  • I'm sorry you didn't have the experience you wanted.

    I'd always be cautious in any call to ensure the call is ended from my end and not assume.

    If you want  a recommendation, I can give you one for someone that specialises in adult women, including people with trauma. They are thorough.

  • Thank you.  I'd never used video-conferencing before, but now I've been through that experience I am much less trusting and will always check.  I have now received my official autism diagnosis from the Lorna Wing, they had no problems confirming my autism.  My GP has referred me for more trauma counselling on the NHS (I can't afford to go private anymore), so it's just a waiting game.
