Hi,
I am mum to 2 children on the autistic spectrum and strongly suspect I am on there too. I was quiried over dyspraxia as a child but never assessed (used to fall flat on my face and not put my hands out). how do you go about getting an assessment as an adult and how much does it usually cost? Do you have to declare a diagnosis if they diagnose you? Would I have to tell my gp/future employers etc? I really want to know for my own knowledge really and feel daft about talking to the gp about it. What assessment do they do? My children had ados testing, do they use these for adults too? I have no family members who could comment on my growing up but my husband has known me since I was 11 (though he is very sure he is on the autistic spectrum too).
