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

    On the NHS it is free, you just have to ask your GP to refer you, but there’s often a waiting list of a year or so.

    If you want to go private, then yeah that cost sounds about right.

      It’s currently about a two year waiting list in Wales, up from about six months last year. Ask me how I know >.<

      This is only if you are a British national. Admitted I only scanned through the OP’s post, but I didn’t see anything other than a comparison with the French system.
