Son waiting 6 months for social communication assessment is that normal?

Kickdrum

Hi, my 15 year old son has been waiting for 6 months for social communication assessment.

Could people with a diagnosis post up how long it took for them please? 

I keep ringing CAMHS for information and can never get to speak to anyone. Tried everyday last week and I'm starting to get frustrated with it all. 

My son is getting no support at all and has been struggling with anxiety a lot at school recentley. 

Thanks in advance

  • Hi, I emailed PALS and CCG and complained about lack of support and the length of time we have been waiting. I also mentioned that I have found it difficult to get to speak to anyone at CAMHS and that one memeber of staff was so rude that I made an informal complaint. They have both emailed me back and said I need to speak to [removed by mod] Mental Health Trust as they are the Trust which CAMHS comes under. I have emailed them straight away.
