I have recently been referred by my doctor, had to fill in a tick box questionnaire then received another more in depth questionnaire from the Autism diagnosis service. I filled this out and sent it back and was just wondering how long they usually take to get back to you after this step? Thanks
Have you been referred to an NHS service? If so I think it is area dependent. Where I live, I didn't hear anything for about 3 years and I tried to chase it and they said there was no one to do the assessment. I ended up going via the right to choose route and got seen within 3 months.
I went through Clinical Partners. The instructions of how to get referred are on this page: https://www.clinical-partners.co.uk/nhs-services/right-to-choose . I would email or call them to find out the current wait time.
Thank you so much!
