ASD with Complexity Diagnostic and Support Pathway
Our ASD with Complexity Diagnostic and Support Pathway is for children and young people where autism may sit within a broader and more complex picture.
This pathway is designed for situations where families and professionals need more than simple diagnostic clarity. It offers a fuller assessment process, more detailed recommendations and a more nuanced understanding of presentation and support needs.
