Include everything. Use the Cerebra guide.

In this type of situation, when I complete forms, I write, “suspected autism and ADHD” and “awaiting assessment, referred to CAMHS on Y.”

@EndlessLight

thankyou I was unsure if I could put suspected adhd and autism as it is a speech and language therapist saying it not a doctor
