NHS Diagnosis assessment process

Hi NAS71368,

If you want to see more information about the process for getting an ASD diagnosis, we have information on that here which might be helpful to you - https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/diagnosis/diagnostic-assessment/adults

The next step should be your GP referring you to an autism assessment team for a diagnostic assessment, but how long this will take will probably depend on your area and how long waiting lists are so it's hard to give a time frame. Unfortunately waiting lists in many areas are very long. There's more information about various other aspects of getting a diagnosis here if you want to read more - https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/diagnosis

Best wishes,
