If you are currently experiencing problems with a diagnosis or an assessment you might also find it helpful to look at the section of our website on diagnosis for children and adults. You'll find useful advice on the diagnosis proceedure and what to expect.
You may also want to read Lorna Wing's article about different diagnostic labels. This may be helpful when dealing with a term you were previously unaware of.
Our helpline is also available if you need to call - they are open from 10 am - 4 pm on 0808 800 4104. This number is free from landlines and most mobiles.
