Autism assessment

TheDoctorishere
4 days ago

Hi everyone

My GP is has informed me that the practice doesn't not do referrals to the assessment & that I would have to go private.

I was previously referred in London before I moved to Lowestoft (Suffolk) & when the hospital found out took me off the waiting list.

Is their any other way I can get a referral to the NHS as I can't afford the private cost (without a payment plan)?

    Hi TheDoctorishere, 

    Our website has a diagnosis hub, this includes information, practical and multimedia resources to support autistic people and their families before during and after diagnosis.  

    You may want to visit the other resources on our website, we have advice and guidance on a wide range of information about autism, socialising and relationships, communication and education: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance 

    You can try searching on our Autism Services Directory for diagnostic services in your local area.  The Directory also includes listings for support and social groups for autistic people, their families and friends. 

    I hope this is helpful,
