Long wait for Asperger’s and Autism diagnosis
Vulnerable children suspected of having Asperger’s or Autism are being deprived of the specialist help they need because of long waiting times for assessment and diagnosis.
Rachel Pocock from Haywards Heath has been waiting since December for her daughter, Maisie, 7, to be assessed.
There are indications that she may have Asperger’s but until a diagnosis is made, Maisie cannot receive the specialist help that children with this condition need.
