Questions to ask a private ADHD or autism clinic before you book

Choosing a clinic is a big step, and it's easy to feel rushed into filling in forms before you know the basics. You don't have to. A short, friendly email first will get you the facts that matter — and a good clinic will be happy to answer. Here are four simple questions worth asking, with a template you can copy.

  1. How soon could I be seen?Waits for a first assessment range from a few weeks to many months.
  2. How flexible are appointment times?Evenings and weekends help if you work or study.
  3. What does the assessment cost?Knowing up front avoids surprises.
  4. Do you offer NHS-funded assessment through Right to Choose?In England you may be entitled to an NHS-funded assessment with a private clinic, at no cost to you.

Copy-and-paste email

Hello, I'd like to enquire about having an adult ADHD assessment. Before I go any further or fill in any forms, it would help to know a few things: How soon could I be seen? How flexible are your appointment times (evenings or weekends)? What does the assessment cost? Do you offer NHS-funded assessment through Right to Choose, or is it private only? Thank you — a quick reply would be a real help.
