Waiting time between Diagnostic Assessments

Hello all,

It's been a long time since I have been on NAS.

I finally had an ASD assessment, only took 3 years nearly.

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced a gab between assessments and is this normal.

The reason being, I have recently had one assessment and was then told I had to wait approx 4-5 weeks for the 2nd, I was not given any clear indication as to why and I wasn't going to ask 'Why the gab'.

This has subsequently put me in a slight tail spin as I am doubting myself and the way I approached the assessment, wondering why its going to take so long.

Thanks all for your help and guidance. Its good to be back btw!

  • Hi. I am on the NHS list, having got through the initial stage of forms and an interview. When my son had his assessment he went on one occasion for the final assessment with an observer also. We were able to watch through a one way window.

    I am interested in what the two different interviews involve and if this is the usual practice for adults.
