17 year old diagnosis - now what?

Dear Hawthorn,

Thank you for your message.

Our website has a lot of useful information about diagnosis, including a guide for parents and carers, which explains how to get your child referred for an autism diagnosis.    

You can also browse our website for lots of other advice and guidance on a wide range of information about autism, including what autism is, socialising and relationships, communication and education.     

To find diagnostic services in your local area, you can try searching on our Autism Services Directory, which can be found here.  The Directory also includes listings for support and social groups for autistic people, their families and friends.

Thank you. I hope this helps.

With all good wishes,

Eunice

Thank you the formal support after diagnosis section is very helpful https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/diagnosis/after-diagnosis/formal-support-following-an-autism-diagnosis

we have not been assigned a key contact person (yet) and I will follow up with the ND pathway team
