Hello, I’ve decided to finally get the answer, and go get tested, someone posted a comic of @cypopps a few days ago here and I read all their creations because it connected a lot with me. But I am a bit lost in how to find where to do a Diagnostic in the UK, I see the word “Assesment” and “Diagnostics” which seems to be two different things? The Places in my region do “Assesments” some mostly for kids, other for Young Adults which Is what I found I fould The Assessment Team near me, but it seems crazy to me. Does it actually cost 2500 Pound to get tested? It costs 40 Euro in France
I thought it would be faster in the UK to get tested from what I saw in the UK compared to France but I am confused on the Wording and the Price
If you think it’s important (and also check for ADHD), you can fly elsewhere and do it in an afternoon/very cheaply. I went to Taiwan (quite near to where I live despite being from the UK) and was assessed/diagnosed with ADHD, given a week-long prescription for Ritalin, and Bob’s your uncle. Check other countries which may be quicker and cheaper. I booked the appointment a week in advance, arrived, and got it all done in the morning.
I’ll keep this in the back of my head thank you!
Also PS: Bob’s your Uncle is the best discovery of my last few months in the UK
Just as someone DMed me about it, the total cost of assessment, certificates and a week of pills (14 x 10mg) was $45 (USD). So it’s quicker and cheaper even to fly from the UK to Taiwan to do it. I’m sure there are closer places mind you, just need to find where they are. Check going private in Poland and Turkiye, perhaps.
May I ask where you had this done in Taiwan, and if you’re willing to share, what the process/costs were like? A friend lives in Taiwan and is wondering if he has ADHD/ASD, I’d love to pass on the info.
