Hertfordshire County Council together with East and North Hertfordshire and Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and Hertfordshire Partnership Foundation Trust (HPFT) are undertaking a review into the autism assessment pathway and support available following diagnosis in Hertfordshire.  

 

Hertfordshire is committed to supporting people on the autism spectrum and ensuring they receive support to enable them to live happy, healthy and independent lives within their communities.  This review will focus on adult diagnosis (those aged over 18) and will inform the future delivery of services for people on the autism spectrum.

 

They will collect information from adults on the waiting list for an autism assessment, adults already diagnosed, families, carers and professionals.

 

How can you help?

They want to hear from as many people as possible.  Please let people know about the questionnaires and encourage them to complete one before 6th February 2020.
