On the whole it has been a very positive and life changing experience to receive a confirmation of my Autism/ ADHD diagnosis that I knew deep down was there all along. It was such a relief to be able to undertake the process more quickly than via the NHS waitlist, and to find out quickly and promptly that my self diagnosis was right. The whole process was approx 6 weeks start to finish, and could have been quicker apart from summer holidays impacting all parties availabilities. However, I was disappointed the only treatment option or support method discussed at my diagnosis meeting was medication with potential side effects. What about counselling? Are there other options open to me for ongoing support? It is also dissapointing to discover that if I were to opt for a medication route, I would have to stay under Rainbow's support for the next 3-6 months (paying personally for medication and psychiatrist assessments and medical checks) BEFORE the promised NHS transfer can happen. I was not forewarned about that, and I do not feel it was made clear if. It comes at a not insignificant cost on top of the already very high diagnosis cost. Was it good value for money? For the confirmation and speed of diagnosis, absolutely yes, and I would recommend for anyone who wants a quick turnaround. For the ongoing support, I'd just say to be forewarned of the hidden post-diagnosis costs.
