Hi,

I was just wondering has anyone been accepted by caudwell children for an autsim assessment and not received a diagnosis ? Does anyone know if they go though the information provided and base it on if you're likely to get a diagnosis or not when accepting you? Anyone have any thoughts postive / negative on the experience? Many thanks one anxious over thinking momma

  • Hi and welcome to the community!

    Whilst I don't have any experience of that provider, there's a wealth of information in the NAS's diagnosis hub that you might find helpful as you progress through the diagnostic process.

    Perhaps one of the most relevant articles at the moment is:

    NAS - What can I do while waiting for an autism assessment?

    However, there's also a lot more information that might help to settle your nerves, including information about:

    • The criteria and tools used in assessments
    • What happens during an autism assessment
    • Which professionals will be involved

    These additional articles are here:

    NAS - Assessment and diagnosis

    The article entitled "What happens during an autism assessment" includes an explanation of how they assess the information that has been provided. It also explains your options if the outcome does not result in a diagnosis.

    I wish you and your child all the best on your journey!
