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

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!
