autism assessment waiting list.

Tommy

I’ve previously had a GP appointment to have an assessment made for autism.

It has since been 81 days since my appointment with my GP and I’m still awaiting a date for an assessment. Has anyone been been through this process?

Also, just a random question. Does anyone else like wearing hoodies even when it’s hot?

    Hi, the waiting list in the UK is between 2-4 years. You can ask for ‘Right to Choose’, you use a private assessor and the NHS will pay for it. From seeing my GP to being put on the NHS list was 6 months. In answer to your other question, no I can’t tolerate things around my head.

    Is it too late for the "right to choose" ? Seeing as type questionnaire I was asked to fill out was sent off.

    Hi, the paperwork can be cancelled, you have to speak to your GP and ask for Right to Choose, I think you choose an assessor between you and them, obviously cost is taken into account. I personally choose to wait as most private companies conduct the assessment as  an online interview, I wanted a face to face.
