Closed petition: Set a 6 month waiting time for autism diagnosis & increase funding
Closed on
Some children may be waiting over three years for autism assessments. Delays rob them of vital early support.
We are calling on the Government to:
Legislate a maximum 6-month waiting time for autism diagnosis.
Allocate dedicated funding to clear the backlog.
We think needless delays damage education, mental health, and future prospects.
