6 years on can i get another assessment for 25 ye old son

What was the original diagnosis and why do you think an update is needed?

This will give us a better understanding of the context so we can give more meaningful advice.

To answer the question however, if you want it for free then you need to get your GP to refer him for an evaluation, but if he is already diagnosed with autism and there is no strong evidence to suggest it is otherwise then your GP is likely to refuse. Wait times are running up to 4-5 years at the moment.

You could go private in which case the wait time in probably between several months and a year depending on the company.

As for your sons struggles, I would suggest he get setup with an account here and asks for himself for advice - it is all anonymous so he can give as much or little info as he wants when asking for advice. Getting him to do it himself may give him a sense of control and self advocacy which is likely to be positive for him.
