i had my assessment date changed, previously it said on the letter it would be with 2 psychologists . now on the new appointment letter that is due in october says assessment will be done by a nurse. is this normal, i thought an assessment had to be done by a psychologist or psychiatrist. thanks

Hi NAS78944 , assessments are carried out by a multidisciplinary team of specialists, which can include nurses. You can find more information about who is usually involved here: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/diagnosis/assessment-and-diagnosis/professionals-involved-in-an-autism-assessment.

Perhaps you could get in touch with the place that’s assessing you and ask which specialists will be involved in the process.

Best wishes,
