Can a GP refer me straight to an ASD assessment?

NAS51314

Hi, 

Thanks to the very helpful members of this forum in regards to my my first post on this forum,  I have decided to go back to the GP and ask for another referral to see a professional for an ASD diagnosis.

As I was unsuccessful the first time round in getting through the screening process with the psychiatrist I was referred to, I was refused to be allowed to take the ASD diagnostic assessment.

What I would like to know, if any members of the community can help me, is if there is a way the GP 'fast track' me straight to the assessment without going through the screening stage? Because if so, that is something I will ask for when I go to see my GP in a couple of weeks.

Thanks
