Asd waiting list

Hi,

We’re currently waiting for an assessment on my 12yo and just started the referral process again for my 10yo. Anyone know a realistic time scale for assessment? I’ve read that it should be no longer than 6 months (which is absolute bull!) we’ve been waiting a year for second referral for 12yo (first assessment was when they were 3yo and was told they have tendencies but not enough to diagnose). 
They both mask outside of home so really hard to get support from school. I feel I’m trapped in my house, being controlled by kids. Im constantly walking on egg shells not wanting to set off a meltdown if they don’t get their own way or something is out of place and routine. 
Not sure where to go for support as the groups I’ve found in my area are all family’s with diagnosis and I feel like a fake wanting the support but not having the diagnosis

  • When I notified the service provider of the urgency for screening, and for the urgency of gaining the report, I was moved up the list to the earliest possible time.  

    I think you should entreat them for an earlier appointment, and you should clarify that you cannot move forward without an answer, as unlikely as it seems it worked for me both times..:)
