Re: NHS must prioritise health of children and young people
It is news to me that we have a robust and quick response time for autism assessments in England.
Parents are waiting over a year for such assessments for their children. A recent example known to me was 3 years.
As the number of children presenting as ASD has significantly increased, there has been a significant increase in resistance to diagnose autism in the UK.
