Hi!
My 3 yo started to behave strange recently. I contacted GP and HV and discussed the issues. Most probably it's autism. GP referred her to a health centre (it took her 3 weeks) for assessment but things are going painfully slowly.
My concern is that if it's autism, sooner she gets specialist help higher the chances are for a better life but I read on chats that a diagnosis can take up to 2 years!!!!
We are from abroad living in the UK for the past 8 years but I'm positive I can get a diagnosis back home within months. Do you think NHS will accept a diagnosis from abroad??
