Asperger Syndrome Diagnosis: How Long Does The Process Take To Be Diagnosed For Aspberger’s Syndrome?

27th April, 2009 - Posted by admin -

I am an adult male who was told by a healthcare professional that it would be wise to seek a formal diagnosis for Aspberger’s Syndrome. In seeking this diagnosis, I consulted a large University Personality Disorder program. Although it took several months to get an appointment for an interview and testing, and it was very expensive, it seemed worth the wait and non-insurable expense. The Doctor provided me with a “provisional diagnosis” of Aspberger’s Syndrome, but details of this diagnosis were to be disclosed with my results report, within five weeks. The Doctor was quick to offer me enrollment in some of the University’s group therepy sessions, for an additional fee, but other than this “provisional diagnosis” no results have yet been delivered. It has been over three months since I had this testing, and despite several reminders to this Doctor, I have not yet received any results. Is this typical? How long should the results of such a diagnosis report take?
