Waiting for an Autism or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) assessment can be difficult, and we want to keep you informed about the current situation and what we’re doing to improve access to these services.
Across England, referrals for Autism and ADHD assessments have increased significantly in recent years. Unfortunately, the NHS does not currently have enough capacity to meet this growing demand, without negatively impacting other essential services, which means waiting times are longer than we would like.
