How long until ASD result?

[MsChatterbox]

My son had his assessment last week through the NHS. I'm just wondering how long other people waited for their result of this assessment?

I think this totally depends on where you are etc. DC had an assessment privately with people who also do assessments for the NHS, we had the result/report back about 10 days later.

Surely a piece of string question. The methodology varies so much. My son's assessment was completed about Oct I think, but then the results had to go to panel and we learned the result in Jan.

10 days would be fab I'm ridiculously impatient!

@Slopey ours has to go to panel too... Will brace myself for a wait

Just in case anyone finds this thread asking in the future, I've just had an email and have an appointment to find out in a couple of weeks!

We'd waited 3 years for the assessment. It was booked for a Monday and the previous week the SLT booked us in for a feedback meeting for two days after the assessment.

I just expected her to give us the diagnosis in the meeting but she'd actually written up the draft report by then too. What a ⭐️.

@adhadhdpunchbag wow I cannot imagine waiting 3 years! It's crazy how long the waiting lists are especially once you reach primary age. I think we were lucky to be referred in preschool it seems to be a lot quicker at that point.
