NHS child ND assessment wait times

[Manicpixidreamgirl]

If anyone’s child has been/is awaiting an ND referral, what is the wait time looking like for you? Thanks

My 3 year old only took a year but my 15 year old has been nearly 3 years with 2 years waiting for assessments then they started to see her and did speech and language assessment now waiting for outcomes of next assessment (showing traits of both asd and adhd so added assessments) I was told adult waiting times are 5+ years so paid private for mine this was last year so don't know if children starting out on the list are now this long too

It's almost impossible to get a CAMHS referral in my trust but if you do it's 3 years for kids 2-5 for adults.

It was said to be 3-4 years so I ended up not even trying and paid.

Almost 4 yrs so far for my DS……

We're in the Midlands and first raised concerns about DS at his 2.5 hv review. We had a follow up with her when he turned 3, in between those appointments I'd spoken with our GP who put in for the referral. He's 3.5 now and our referral has been accepted, we've had a paediatric nurse come out to do an initial meet/assessment and are now waiting for an appointment with a paediatrician.
