Hi

I recently self-diagnosed aspergers syndrome after reading up on how it manifests in women. Unsurprisingly I'd like a second opinion on this, but don't really want to go through GP.

Can anyone recommend a good private assessment service in or near London?
Any idea how much it would cost?

Thanks

I think there's a place in Bromley, not sure if it specialises in just females or does both sexes.

I'm afraid I don't know any more details than that. I've been looking for someone knowledgeable in female asperger diagnosis, but I'm probably heading to a southampton centre as it's much closer to me.

I went NHS and they were fine, no interaction with GP other than requesting referral from them. I think private is rather expensive and also it can be difficult to have it recognised if you later want to access any specialised services.

Thanks guys.

FrostedButts, did you have to put a lot of effort into convincing the GP you needed the assessment?
What sort of specialized services are available if your diagnosis is confirmed?
