Private ADHD and ASD diagnosis in the south east

2 replies

Shattered04 · 21/09/2017 12:42

Can anyone recommend somebody in the south east (including London) who could diagnose ADHD and ASD in adult women privately?

I tried the Maudsley (privately, with a GP referral) and after six months and several emails chasing them, they never got back to me so I give up there. I'm now looking for somewhere else. I don't mind paying a bit, but anything close to two grand or more is pushing it really!

Feel free to PM me if you don't want to discuss on here.

Thanks!

Costs can vary. I'm in contact with the Lorna Wing Centre (Bromley) for ASD and they've said they need to check what kind of assessment I need (I sent them an ed psych report), meaning that the cost would be dependent on the assessment. I think they may only do ASD though.
How helpful was your GP? Did you/could you go back to them and explain your difficulties?

Yes, it does seem from what I can tell that ASD costs more than ADHD to diagnose (I wonder why? The cynic in me wonders if they make money from prescribing ADHD meds but there's not much they can offer with ASD) I presume they'd want to conduct the tests separately.

My GP was kind of helpful but ultimately she's overworked and I'm not going to be a priority.

I think I've decided to go for ADHD first as I do believe (subject to side effects) I could benefit from medication whereas an ASD diagnosis would just be for my own peace of mind.
