Hi
Just wondered if anyone has any experience of going private for ASD diagnosis? My DS is 6 and everyone involved with him is sure he has autism. I've also recently been wondering about ADD as well. I started the process in November 2014, and got onto the waiting list with camhs in April 2015. The waiting list here is ridiculous and we could still have another 15-18 months to wait for assessment.
I'm very tempted to borrow the money from my Dad and go private but unsure if it's the best thing to do. Has anyone done this and did you find you could access more services/support ones you had?
Also how did you choose where to go? Someone has recommended a clinic but it's 3 hours away(logistical nightmare as we have no childcare for my other DS)There is one place in the town where we live but the one person I've spoken to who's been there didn't rate them.
Would really appreciate any input xx
