Dear all.
My 4 year old daughter has diagnosed with autism spectrum. It took nearly a year to get NHS attention.Me and my wife noticed that there is something wrong with her when she was 2 years old. I live in London Redbridge. They are taking too long to give her an appointment .We felt this council is working very slow and can't handle.
Please advise me . where is the best place to live in England for a autistic child.
Thank you
Kish.
Hi, has your daughter been diagnosed yet or are you still waiting for the assessment appointment? Experience trying to get review appointments for my 2 year old daughter have taught me that you need to chase, chase and chase some more
Hi.
Thank you for the reply. Paediatrician saw her in November and he made a referral to social communication clinic for assessment in DSM-IV and ADOS. but when I call them there told me it can take up to a year to get these appointments.
First time me met the paediatrician in June 2018.
I'm still trying to get my daughter assessed after nearly 5 years (not waiting 5 years but 5 years being passed around departments)
Thank you .
We are trying to give her the best possible support but systems is very slow. I heard some local authorities are better . I want to know any one had a better support.
