Waiting diagnosis

NAS73800

Hi my little boy is 4 years old and since the age of 2 we’ve been told that’s he’s probably going to be on the spectrum with autism, what I’m finding really frustrating is he’s appointment is over the phone. I really need someone professional to spend time with my boy to see what we see. I can’t believe fighting to get a diagnosis is so hard! Any tips would be greatly received and this is all new to me 

  • Hi and welcome. Sorry to hear to hear about your stuggle, I was thinking you might find this link helpful - you can find details of diagnostic services on our Autism Services Directory in the Assessment and diagnosis section: http://www.autism.org.uk/directory.aspx 

    If you have further questions, you may like to contact our Autism Helpline team. They can provide you with information and advice about getting a diagnosis. You can call them on 0808 800 4104 (Monday to Friday 10am to 3pm.Please note that the Helpline is experiencing a high volume of calls and it may take a couple of attempts before you get through to speak to an adviser. 

    Hope this helps!
