Hello, I’ve decided to finally get the answer, and go get tested, someone posted a comic of @cypopps a few days ago here and I read all their creations because it connected a lot with me. But I am a bit lost in how to find where to do a Diagnostic in the UK, I see the word “Assesment” and “Diagnostics” which seems to be two different things? The Places in my region do “Assesments” some mostly for kids, other for Young Adults which Is what I found I fould The Assessment Team near me, but it seems crazy to me. Does it actually cost 2500 Pound to get tested? It costs 40 Euro in France
I thought it would be faster in the UK to get tested from what I saw in the UK compared to France but I am confused on the Wording and the Price
I’m going through the NHS and about 2 years into a 3 year waiting list. There’s something called ‘Right to Choose’ where you can get a diagnosis/assessment (I guess there’s a formal difference but effectively the same as far as I’m concerned) from some practices which are paid for through NHS funding. That tends to be quicker. There’s quite a bit of information from people asking the same question on the autism sub Reddit. If you go private and not Right to Choose, I’d expect to pay between 1-2k.
