Hi
I wondered if anyone could offer any advice who has already been through this...
My eldest son (8) has Aspergers. It was diagnosed privately at age 4.
We went private as NHS waiting list was sooooo long.
Our GP gave us details of a specialist.
However now I believe my 6 year son many also have it along with ADHD.
Again I'd like to go privately.
I'm reluctant to use the same doctor as I'd like a more thorough approach this time around. The reason being my 6 year old is not a clear cut case. He's complex and I feel for an accurate diagnosis he'd need to be seen by someone very experienced or several tupes of professionals e.g ed psych as well.
I saw the Portland hospital do an initial assessment then refer you to their multi disciplinary team if further assessment is needed.
Has anyone used this service? Any particular doctors anyone could recommend either there or elsewhere?
We are in South West London/Surrey area.
Thank you!
