“It’s incredibly frustrating and sad to see how long families are having to wait for ASD assessments because of a lack of funding and resources. Young people with ASD especially need their assessments and diagnoses quickly as their engagement in school and learning is so much affected by their environment and how well their individual needs are supported. It’s also very important that the assessment is robust, thorough and reliable. Whether a diagnosis is given or not, we believe a good ASD assessment should identify the person’s individual strengths and difficulties, as well as giving ways forward for the future; a diagnosis being confirmed or denied is not really enough.“

Dr Jessica Donohoe, Co-Director and Clinical Psychologist
